The fire that erupted at Rivian's Normal factory damaged over 50 electric vehicles but thankfully did not impact the factory itself or lead to any injuries.
Despite the perception that electric vehicles are particularly hazardous when they catch fire, studies indicate that they ignite less frequently than traditional combustion vehicles.
An investigation has been initiated to determine the cause of the fire, which is still unknown, emphasizing the importance of thorough fire safety protocols in places where EVs are stored.
Firefighters face unique challenges when responding to electric vehicle fires, as EVs can reignite long after they have been extinguished, necessitating ongoing monitoring by emergency services.
