So I guess the point you are trying to make is that a country of some 27M people and has 1000 battery fires in a year or 1 battery fire for every 27,000 people years.

On the other hand a country of some 330M people had 96 petrochemical incidents in a year or one for every 3,437,500 people years.

In other words the incidence of battery fires vs petrochemical incidents is roughly 127 times as high.

I also note that as the batteries causing these incidents are relatively new/lightly used the use per capita is likely to increase substantially going forward which will likely result in a further deterioration of the relative safety of the two items YOU have chosen to compare.

Was this the only pint you were trying to make or are there others??

Nope. Just proving that Regulations work as in the O & G Industry.
Maybe the Govt needs to crackdown on these "fires".

Govt needs to pinpoint the actual culprit.

Govt needs to educate about the batteries

Govt needs to regulate the batteries.
