Two Firefighters Dead in Spain - Is EV to Blame?

The investigation is ongoing, but it seems likely to me, and apparently that is the working hypothesis. Two firefighters dead and more than a dozen others affected by fumes during huge blaze at community garage in Spain

Investigators are probing whether the fire was sparked by an electric vehicle in a car park for residents in Alcorcón

So there was a fire in the parking garage of building in Madrid. Two firefighters died, 14 were injured. One of those injuries is serious.

Initial hypotheses suggest that the first of the deceased firefighters was caught in a blast that affected several parked cars. This large-scale explosion was allegedly caused by a fire in an electric car which had crashed when its owner was driving it into the garage. The second firefighter died from the inhalation of fumes while he was being transferred to the University Hospital of Getafe. All the injured and deceased were members of the Alcorcón fire brigade.

So... if an EV catches fire, either through its own devices or because it is just in the vicinity of a fire, is it still a zero-emissions vehicle?

This story was mentioned in passing at the beginning of the video in yesterday's post about EV recalls.
