I'm no firefighter, nor do I deny evs have risks but this leaves questions that imply their training is shite.

One died of inhalation, were they not using oxygen breathing apparatus/respirators?
One died after getting trapped between a wall and the ev, and was left by his partner. Why was he back there?

these definitely sound like training lapses, but EV fires are notoriously hard to put out being electrical fires. The extended burn period likely didn't help the situation.
