So is the problem of a fire caused by a dead short across the battery terminals?


No reason to jump to an assumption like that. Fires with other lithium
chemistries have generally not involved shorts on the terminals. When
those FES gliders lit up recently, nobody was dropping wrenches on them.

Be interesting to find out what really happened with this LFP.
