Two Fires in Four Months at this EV Battery Facility

So, if a bunch of lithium-ion batteries catch fire, are they still "green technology?" West Michigan auto parts facility catches fire for second time in 4 months

Fire crews with the Holland Department of Public Safety responded to the facility, at 926 Waverly Road, shortly after 1 p.m. on Wednesday, July 9.

The auto parts manufacturing facility also caught fire overnight on March 30.

There are details at the article, but I recommend the StacheD Training video below. Patrick Durham is Fire Department captain in Michigan.

  1. When I go to the grocery store, I park in the hinterlands. I reckon I should now consider the proximity of EV vehicles.

    I typically mentally format an egress plan from a building. This includes the back doors through the storeroom.
    I have noticed that at different stores there are bicycle racks near or immediately inside the store entrances. Usually there are multiple e-bikes in the racks. Just a consideration.
