Fire departments across the US have the tools and chemicals on hand to deal with a gasoline fires.

Electric cars are fairly new (that Baker from 1910 doesn't count, because it had lead-acid batteries and nobody drives one) and aren't as common as ICE cars, so fire departments haven't all caught up. Outside of huge cities I imagine a fire department doesn't have the equipment to deal with a battery fire.

Yeah fair enough, hopefully with time this will be less of an issue
