ICE car fires are easier to put out.

EVs catching on fire and then being impossible to put out is something that has already happened, and in fact as I understand it the latter invariably follows from the former. The only new thing that needs to happen is the fire happening while the car is not out on a road, but inside a building where it can set other things on fire. The fact that the vehicle cannot be put out and can frustrate firefighting and rescue efforts makes an already dangerous situation even more dangerous.
Which part of any of this is straining your imagination?
ICE car fires are easier to put out.
When did one crash into a building, catch on fire, and kill people? Surely this must have happened at some point for you to put all this together.

The part where it never came close to happening after and you changed what you're saying.
It's only a matter of time before an EV catches fire after crashing into a building and a bunch of people die
It's only a matter of time before someone gets hit by lightning after winning the lottery too.
