Right, car fires are not a good comparison because you don't park your car in your hallway, or leaned up against your bed, or hanging inverted a foot from the ceiling.
- yakak 4y agoSome people spend a lot of time locking themselves directly into these little inferno chambers. The only fire deaths I've directly seen were in cars. Naturally they are more visible than houses, but also so common that they don't make the news.

- yakak 4y agoTaking 1% of US statistics for NYC, there should be around 1100 car fires, with 4 deaths. I'm not sure those deaths would be clearly identified as a car fire as opposed to a generic fatal accident. A fire in a tunnel, basement parking lot or engulfing multiple cars, OTOH.
- StrictDabbler 4y agoCar fires are mostly caused by old cars overheating under heavy use. This gives the owner a chance to pull over and let the car burn. Bike fires are mostly caused by overheating while charging at night. This gives the owner the chance to die in their sleep.
