Thank goodness it was environmentally friendly.

The Blaze: An electric bus caught fire Saturday morning in the parking lot of the CT Transit Bus Depot in Hamden, Connecticut, according to a Facebook post from the Hamden Fire Department.

What are the details?

“Lithium ion battery fires are difficult to extinguish due to the thermal chemical process that produces great heat and continually reignites,” the post read.

I just wonder what the carbon footprint of a bus being consumed by an inextinguishable fire is?
