Parking garage (parkade) fires have happened before. "In 2018, a parking garage fire in Liverpool, UK destroyed more than 1,400 cars and the parking structure required demolition due to irreparable structural damage. In 2020, a parking garage fire at the Stravenger Airport in Sola, Norway destroyed approximately 300 cars and shut down the airport."
More sprinklers needed.
