actually... zero gallon of water was needed to put out that fire. The fire started with the electronics inside the rear trunk. It basically destroyed the entire trunk and part of the rear seat. However, the fire stopped when all the oxygen inside was consumed. By the time the fire trucks rolled up to my house, there was nothing to put out. The fire marshal took pics and provided me with a report for the insurance company. The actual repair took over 2 months. It was way before the pandemic, so the amount of time was not due to parts shortage, but all the stuff they had to do to restore it. My bill was $1000 for the deductible... GEICO paid close to $10,000 for the rest.
