The fact there was no investigation to this is disgusting... there were police right there... absolutely no reason for him to discharge his fire arm... and then to pay him off afterwards... wtf.
Morons in CA are wearing masks again. Was in a board meeting today and an idiot was in there wearing a pink mask. She did just get back from China and I didn't ask so maybe she thought she was protecting us?Someone call this guy and make sure he's dead. My phones down. @DucksFC
The fertile soil those are built on will also be toxic for a few hundred years if / when they come down.Your feel good video of the day. Thousands of acres of US farm land eaten up to build solar farms using largely chicom solar panels and using massive federal and state tax dollars to build dirty unreliable "renewable" solar facilities. There is no way these things will last 25 years. But we can feel good that all the metals and minerals used to build these things are not mined in the US but mined by the chicoms using state of the art mining techniques and with a deep commitment to environmental concerns in China and third world sh*t holes so the mining devastation really doesn't matter. Out of sight, out of mind.
Hey, can I build a house in the Columbia Gorge? Not a phucking chance. Uh, can I build a 500 megawatt wind farm? Sure, and here is your bucket of money.

Obviously, the fire department’s primary concern was rescuing residents before they succumbed to the smoke that had engulfed the building. But there was also a raging inferno down below in the garage, as the burning EV began to ignite adjacent vehicles.Heavy smoke made its way into the building where some residents needed assistance to escape.
Some residents had to evacuate by climbing down an aerial ladder from multiple stories up.
Residents expressed their gratitude for the firefighters response.
The electric vehicle that started the fire was determined to be a Kia EV. Following the awful night that the residents endured, almost all of them soon learned that their cars had been damaged too."There were multiple vehicles on fire," said Lindsey Rogers with the Chattanooga Fire Department. "The smoke from the vehicle fires made its way throughout the building, so
we had half of our crews in the sub-level garage working to extinguish those car fires. We had the other half of our crews working to do multiple rescues.
"
The greatest peril in a multi-family building is fire. That risk has now been compounded by the fact that a trendy EV parked in an apartment’s garage might spontaneously erupt into an unextinguishable inferno at any time.Two other vehicles next to the EV burned,
and most of the cars in the garage suffered heat damage
, in the early morning hours of November 22nd. Fire officials identified the car that caught fire as a Kia.
It’s already very difficult to find an insurance company to insure a Tesla. They are unrepairable due to lack of parts availability.Another spontaneous EV fire in a parking structure below an apartment building. Millions in damages. Of course all covered by insurance, supposedly. Were going to see insurance companies either excluding EV fire damage or charging up the ying yang.https://ace.mu.nu/

As cool as the “new urban” lifestyle sounds, with dining and entertainment options within blocks of your condo/loft, there have always been negatives. These include the hassle factor of multi-story apartment living, shared walls, street noise, etc. There’s now a new negative – the risk of a runaway thermal fire in the parking garage underneath the building you live in.
Some residents of an apartment building in a hip Chattanooga neighborhood had a terrifying night recently when an electric vehicle parked in the building’s garage spontaneously erupted in flames during the wee hours of the night.

Five people were hospitalized.
Per the Chattanooga Fire Department, “Residents were giving important information to the police, and officers were relaying those details to the crews conducting searches and making rescues. You can also see and hear the compassion the first responders have on the scene as they help people fleeing their smoke-filled homes in the middle of the night.”

I know that I will be receiving the usual emails reminding me that there are more fires involving gasoline-powered (“ICE”) cars than from EVs. Of course there are, because there are so many more ICE cars on the road than EVs, and when ICE cars get in wrecks, the gasoline sometimes combusts.
But ICE cars just don’t spontaneously burst into flames like EVs do. There is essentially no risk that a parked ICE car in a garage will burst into flames, while there is a very real, greater-than-zero risk that an EV will spontaneously combust, and cause tremendous damage to everything around it. And above it.
For safety reasons and for insurance purposes, buildings with covered parking garages really need to start considering a ban on EVs.
