I've never been downwind of a rocket explosion or an EV fire, Fireworks are something that make me annoyed at the air quality degradation quite often.

1. once a year is quite often?

2. while on vacation last year I saw huge column of snooker and crazy sound only to find out two electric cars were burning at charging station right in next street, I was much more annoyed by fireworks I watch from window at midnight, if you don't want just keep your window closed which shouldn't be that much of a deal in freezing night in December/January


At least twice a year, it is a big deal on July 4th. And that's not counting numerous forest fires that were started by fireworks.

And I mean, the EV thing just seems like a manufactured concern anyway. Walking around I'm very happy when I walk near an EV and don't breathe in exhaust. EV fires are remarkable because that's the only time their presence causes lung problems, while gas vehicles cause lung problems under normal operation.
