“An electric fire truck ‘containing lithium-ion batteries’ started a fire that consumed a German fire station
The Feuerwehr station in Stadtallendorf is new. Really new. In fact, the new fire station opened its bay doors less than one year ago. The station could accommodate 10 fire engines and many firefighters. However, a tragic fire destroyed the station, despite its firefighting purposes.”
Electric fire truck burns down brand new German fire station

Bitter irony….
It won’t be very long after manufacturers lose their shirts on commercial electric vehicles that they drop them completely from their model lines. Methinks it is not ‘sustainable’.
You’d have to have a heart of stone not to laugh.
Those lithium batteries are way better than I thought.
Their energy is firefighterproof to a degree that they can burn down everything even in a fire station.
And here a little bit more from the globalist front
for those who always wondered about the clairvoyance of event 201.
As it seems that even 3 years before that their major figurehead already knew what was about to happen.

“The Surprising Truth About Electric Vehicles Nobody Tells You”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2zTzphkVY0&t=0s
Documentary lasting 42 minutes.
a small town volunteer firefighter told me today that he knew of a case where an electric car battery was on fire and the fire department gave up on trying to put it out so they pushed it into a pond and two days later they pulled it out of the pond and it was either still burning or it reignited. I can’t vouch for the story. there may have been embellished been involved …I really don’t know… because it really sounds preposterous but he said it happened. I wouldn’t want one of those in my garage
Hard to believe that an official team of firefighters could get away with poisoning a pond – and getting away with 0 coverage (can only happen if Biden is part of the firefighters).
The process of pushing it into a pond while burning and having a pond close to the car is another strange. story.
And why keep it for 2 days in the pond ?
It’s no different than spraying thousands of gallons of water on an ICE car fire – which leach untold quantities of toxic compounds into the water runoff from fighting that fire. I mean shoving a burning car into a pond is no different than fighting any vehicle or structural fire in the sense that the water carries all manner of toxic stuff into the ground and storm drains. (each 1 and 1/2 inch fire hose delivers 120 gallons per minute of water)
And it is plausible that it could reignite after being submerged. Normally you have the fire triangle, meaning a fire requires heat, fuel and oxygen to sustain and if you remove any one of the sides of the triangle, the fire goes out. However a lithium battery fire generates it’s own oxygen and heat, and adding water actually generates hydrogen too from the water reacting with the lithium.
So shoving the car into the pond did remove the heat, but it did not stop the chemical reactions. And/or the battery cells that were not involved in the fire were shorted out by being submerged, so new cells could ignite when the car was pulled form the water….
Haven’t you ever seen what happens when you put sodium or potassium into water? An humongous explosion spontaneously erupts as it splits the water into H2 and a metal hydroxide and makes copious amounts of heat. All Alkali metals of which Lithium is one, have this property.

D. Boss has an interesting explanation for all of this. I don’t pretend to know if the details are true but the story was told by somebody who lives in North Dakota. ND size wise is about 70,000 sq. miles with a population about the same as Staten Island New York. I’m sure a lot happens there that never makes the national news. but as for my story, just something I heard. I can’t vouch for it.
Da. The Germans are so easily scammed. Perhaps they were better off ruled by the Habsburgs or Napoleon. Everything they have tried themselves has been a disaster: Bismarck, Kaiser Willy, the Weimar Republic, Hitler, the DDR, Angela Merkel…
A bit hard on Bismarck to put him among those horrors.
He was sane, he was rational, and his ambitions were limited. But I admit you may know more about him than I do.
What I know about Bismarck is anecdotal and on two fronts, which means nothing other than it was good to vilify every self-inflicted government that the Germans have had. In the Alsace, they claim that when the Prussian Empire, the end produce of the short-lived German Federation, took over, they squashed out every bit of fun and decency, and they were so happy to be repatriated back to France at the end of WW1. Of course, they are part of France now, so that might influence what they say. At the other end, where my other German ancestors came from, Schleswig-Holstein, they were thrilled to run off the Danish Prince (their prince, not their king, they were special) and become part of the so liberated German Federation. Again the operative word here is short-lived, and when they were transformed into the Prussian Empire, they, including my ancestors, fled by the thousands to the US, to avoid being drafted to conduct Bismarck’s wars of conquest, such as the reacquisition of Alsace, which Louis the 14th stole some 200 years earlier.
That’s not much to know about Bismarck. The most noteworthy thing may be that he did assembly the square heads into a single political entity, something that no one had done since Charles the Great, otherwise known as Charlemagne.
