I saw three reports on this last week. It’s simply not news. A car caught fire, it got out of control, and there’s no basis for prosecution of the driver.The Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue incident report into the Luton Airport car park fire confirms that the fire started in a diesel car. It is very precise in saying that:
“The vehicle involved was diesel-powered – it was not a mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle.”

I believe it was Jo Moore, a special adviser to the government, who originally used this phrase on 9/11.
The EV haters would care had it been an EV.
Aye, the PR adviser in the Department of Transport who retrained as a Primary School teacher the following year.
So no EV,s caught fire then? Why then did the intense heat that can only come from lithium batteries on fire cause floors to collapse. Doesn't really matter what car started the fire, it's how it spreads and cannot be put out easilyThe EV haters would care had it been an EV.
I’d certainly believe there is some culpability in NOT having any form of extinguisher system built into a relatively new multi-storey car-park.I saw three reports on this last week. It’s simply not news. A car caught fire, it got out of control, and there’s no basis for prosecution of the driver.
However… as far as I read, it’s not clear if there was some culpability of the property operator, the safety systems, or the fire authorities. “All I read” was that there wasn’t a case to put against the driver. Which doesn’t mean he’s innocent, rather that there isn’t a case that could lead to successful prosecution.
There’s an odd smell of incompetence cover up because the report was issued at the same time as “Kate’s Cancer gripped the nation.”
You don’t have to be Alastair Campbell to note that it was the ideal time to “bury bad news.”
Luton Airport car park fire was 'accidental', says fire service - BBC News
The rapid fire started in a moving diesel vehicle inside the terminal car park, a report reveals.
Course they would, they are actually probably Gutted it turn out to be an ICE vehicle.The EV haters would care had it been an EV.
What's that got to do with anything? Nobody's saying no EVs caught fire. It's been proven that an EV did NOT start the fire. Much to the disappointment of the EV haters and the Media.
Sort of on similar lines. Work colleague of mine years ago, argued that 2 stroke petrol, wasn't flammable
So to prove his point, put a little bit on his work pants, and put a flame to it, needless to say it burst into flames. It was quickly extinguished and he wasn't hurt. 
From that moment on until he finished, he was known as, Two Stroke. 
I haven't read the report, but one of the things a friend of mine (a retired London Fire Service Watch Commander) said at the time was that fires in multi-story carparks are rare but often catastrophic when they do happen because fuel tanks rupture due to the heat, with the liquid then entering the drainage system and thus spreading the fire further at random. He also mentioned that examples such as Luton with unclad steel structures are prone to collapse without warning due to heat causing the steels to lose structural integrity, so no-one is going to rush to go inside the structure to fight the fire.
