Most people think charging an EV in the garage is safe.
UNTIL THE BATTERY FAILS and catches fire

When lithium-ion batteries enter thermal runaway, the fire behaves differently:
It grows fast, burns hotter, and can re-ignite without warning—especially in enclosed spaces like homes and garages.

Why this matters

In seconds, these fires can fill rooms with toxic smoke and turn a single battery failure into a large house fire before anyone has time to react.

What firefighters know

EV battery fires are extremely difficult to extinguish. They often require massive cooling, have long suppression times, and can spread rapidly throughout the structure.
Fire safety starts before the flames.

Charge smart. Ventilate properly. Never ignore battery risks.
