Bold in the article.

More than 200 vehicles were destroyed on August 16in a fire in the Prior Velho industrial area, in a car park next to Lisbon airportowned by a passenger vehicle collection company.
In a statement, the Portuguese Association of Insurers (APS) gave a new update on the damage caused by this fire, saying that the estimated value of the compensation due is more than €3.6 million, having already paid out €2.3 million.
“The average amount paid per vehicle with a total loss was almost €29,000. These figures should already be close to the final figures, so there will be no further updating of the information”, the note states.
According to data released by APS,232 vehicles affected by this fire had motor insurance and, of these, 154 had fire cover, a percentage “well above the market average”.

“Of the vehicles with fire cover, 117 suffered total loss and 37 suffered partial loss”, APS added.
“The fire, which did not cause personal injury or spread to nearby warehouses, broke out at around 6pm on August 16 – and the Judicial Police are investigating the causes”, writes Lusa (which is odd, as other news sources have stressed the initial reason given for the blaze – an electric car catching fire – was found to have been incorrect, and that the blaze was, in fact, caused by “ashort-circuit in a faulty relay in a car with a combustible engine”.)

No personal injury hey. Yet people have perished in fires out of control in the same country including firefighters, very sad. Need to exercise some thought here.
