OTOH, I have seen liquid fuel running down the street burning. And seen the fire start a block from the wreck. If the battery stays in 1 place that could be a plus.

Of course that could depend on where that 1 place is located, like a parking garage. Car fire would be bad, gas or electric.

Yes, a battery fire in 1 place in a parking garage would be bad. But what about burning gas flowing across the floor of that garage?
Back in early '70s a wreck started a car fire a little east of you.(92&169) I pulled up next to the truck in front of me, and we both grabbed our extinguishers, ran up and made sure everybody was out of the cars. As we walked back to the trucks we watched fire come from behind our trucks. Gasoline from the car that was not burning had ran down the hill, and somehow got ignited.
Back when everybody drove hayburners, the main firefighting technology was a stack of buckets. When batteries are more common likely be advance in that tech
