I wouldn't be surprised if it's the electronics that start these fires, not the cells themselves.

The bigger the battery the more current they're capable of. More current means more heat. Even small consumer electronics with big batteries (large power banks, car jump starters, portable power packs, etc) produce a lot of heat when they charge or discharge the batteries. These energy storage facilities must produce some ungodly amounts of heat.

Edit: Here's an article from a similar fire in Australia: https://esv.vic.gov.au/news/cooling-system-leak-led-to-victorian-big-battery-fire/ tl;dr coolant leak caused short circuit

With all this green stuff people underestimate how fragile power electronics are. They cause battery fires, solar panel fires and they turn your 50.000 hour LED into a 2.000 hour brick.
