Brad Lone's hardware and garden stores brings you garage logic podcast number 797 Feb 23,

2022. 59 degrees was the high in this day in 1958 and it was 25 below in 1889.

And now from the mayor's office above the boat house on the east shore of Spoon Lake.

It's garage logic with working on production, grace reavers, director of social media, John

Heiden, the newsroom, and occasionally Kenny from the crabby coffee shop. Here is your flashlight

king, fireworks commissioner, and keeper of common sense. Yo, mayor, Joe Sushiman.

I do not have an update today on the cargo ship, a flame with its load of porches and

bentleys. But I do have an email from Brennan and Brewster, Minnesota.

I went through firefighter one in two classes for my local fire department this spring.

What to do if an EV caught fire was brought up and the answer was not what I thought it would be.

The instructor said living in a rural area, most likely it would take a long time to get the

foam to put out the fire and it isn't cost effective to have it on hand. So we are to make sure

everyone is safe and let the electric vehicle burn. Thought you might be interested in this

Brennan from Brewster, which is I think that sounds an alarm to any electric vehicle owner.

Out in the out in the woods. Your fire departments basically what volunteer fire departments.

Don't have the materials on hand to extinguish an EV fire.

According to the USA today, the cargo ship, the Felicity Ace, is still floating without

crew in the Atlantic Ocean. Right. And it's still on fire. And we're learning now that if you have

an electric vehicle and you live out in the rural parts of the state, chances are they don't

have the ability to put out a fire in the event you suffer one. Just let the car burn and make

sure the people are safe. That's why we need more charging stations all over the country.

That'll prevent all that from happening.
