When a wildfire is ripping through town, firefighters don't focus on putting out individual car fires. Any car that gets caught up in the wildfire will burn; any building too. It doesn't matter what kind of car it is, whether it's fueled or charged; it will burn up regardless. And in the general case of a car fire, the basic approach is the same: they spray the car with water from a distance. Unless there's somebody in the car the firefighters won't get up and personal with a burning car. The pertinent danger is not to the firefighters, but the effect of tying up the attention of firefighters on one car for six hours when there are other matters that demand their attention.
