Whenquestioned by Service Control, the caller advised their car was a diesel Range Rover that itwas located on the third floor.’13 The subsequent fire investigation confirmed that the vehiclewas powered by a diesel non-hybrid internal combustion engine.Page 86:Fire ProgressionThe fire originated in a red 2014, Range Rover Sport with a 2993cc diesel engine.219 It is theexpert opinion of the Fire Investigator that when taking into consideration all available factsat the time of the Fire Scene Investigation that the fire was the ‘result of accidental ignition.’220This was due to an ‘electrical fault or component failure. The developing fire has spread toother components including plastics within the engine compartment and its oil and fuel 221.’The driver stopped the ‘vehicle on the roadway of the third floor of Terminal Car Park 2 dueto seeing flames on the passenger side of the vehicle. Vehicle positioning was offset to thecentre of the roadway with the nearside (passengers’ side) being closer to adjacent vehiclesin parking bays.’222 ‘Subsequent radiant heat (In the region of 2.5 - 5 megawatts for a vehiclefire) was sufficient for the ignition of adjacent vehicles.’ 223... It was confirmed that the Range Rover involved was fitted with aplastic fuel tank. Heat of the developing fire will have been sufficient to ignite some of thesefuels as they followed the sloping gradient of the roadway surface, spreading ignitable fuel Paul

But the initial 999 call was from the owner, so the fire brigade had all of the details, and had all of the data from the DVLA.

But how long before someone said to everyone concerned 'don't mention that battery'

The continuing controversy over the Luton car park fire could suggest that the emergency services and others have their own version of the Swedish police’s Special Codes when it comes to EV/hybrid fires: ‘Don’t tell the public!’.

Do you _really_ believe that everyone involved at all levels would go along with that?

Oh yes. It's happened before.

The whole GreenCrap™ thing is littered with misinformation that everyone goes along with, as are the current 'gender wars'

Because if they don't, they lose their jobs and become unemployable. Remember David Bellamy?

At one time as popular as David Attenborough. Until he challenged climate alarmism.

Do you mean it doesn't work in Sweden, if you know about it...

It’s not a secret code, you can look them up, but what some of them are applied to is not for public disclosure.
