The fact that is was a battery electric vehicle certainly got the media and public attention but this would seem to be a side issue so far as the fire is concerned as the fire was in the bus's heating system rather than the battery itself. https://www.thesuburban.com/news/city_ne...a8b2a.html
No spread to the battery due to rapid fire extinguishing but the potential for a more serious and harder to quell fire if it had as Lion seem to use the higher density and more flammable NMC chemistry Li-Ion battery in their C series buses. I guess the North American manufacturer will be busy fault finding for a while.
