I remarked that it appeared to be a lithium-ion fire from what people in the general public claiming to be familiar with such matters commented...
You cited people claiming to have worked at car dealerships and parking garages. There's nothing about those jobs that should make you conclude that they have the slightest expertise as to what "appears to be a Li-ion fire". You even defended this by saying how impressed you were with the salesman's knowledge when you bought your car (which you said you chose on Them the advice of your son because you don't know anything about cars). All a good car salesman needs to know is what all the buttons and knobs do, and the basic specs of the vehicle. I've known plenty of car salesman who wouldn't know the first thing about fixing them, let alone exactly what a Li-ion vs gasoline vs diesel car fire looks like.
...the speed of the fire and its sheer intensity, together with the floor collapsing.
You've been shown video demonstrating how fast a car can become engulfed in fire, and how intense that fire often is. So even if you had successfully demonstrated that the fire service was there as quickly as you say (and you
didn't demonstrate that), it only takes a matter of a few minutes for a car to become engulfed in flames. The "sheer intensity" is a result of hundreds of other highly flammable vehicles being confined in close proximity to each other. The floor collapse is easily explained by the weakening of steel brackets caused by the fire. It's a common result of such fires.
You're just pretending to know that there's something suspicious about the incidents because that feeds your CT narrative and your pretense of being too clever to be fooled.
We have only be shown a small amount of CCTV...
Why would we expect 100% CCTV coverage of the garage?
...and have not been given any information as to the make, year and model of the vehicle concerned.
Other than actual images showing a particular generation of Land Rover Discovery, you mean?
We have been told it is a diesel-fueled vehicle with a fire that started in the engine bay due to a probable electrical fault but we really need to see the full report to understand why the Beds F&RS could not contain the fire.
No, we don't
need to see the report to understand how a car fire could spread so fast in a matter of minutes. Your ignorance-based assumptions about how a car would catch fire and burn have already been corrected. You're attempts to place the fire service with water on the fire within a few minutes have been poorly reasoned.
1) Cars often become consumed in flames in a matter of a few minutes.
2) The fire service didn't just drive the huge pumper trucks up the ramps to the level where the burning car was no matter
when they arrived.
I am sceptical it is as simple as they claim.
And your skepticism is based entirely on your pretension that you are knowledgeable enough to discern "anomalies" regarding the reported cause.
