Quickly connect a bunch of fans to them, which will then blow the flames out or drain the batteries. Whichever comes first.

This sounds like horrible advice, flames don't "blow out"

I’m pretty sure they were being sarcastic. There is no practical way to get close to a fiery auto crash and attach a bunch of fans to a currently on fire battery.

There's the unfortunate middle area where the air makes the fire rage even hotter, like a blast furnace.

makes me wonder two things:

- what about draining the cells through the main charging port ?

- would that worsen the situation ?
