I though I read something recently (in the last month or two) that DID come to a final conclusion about the origin of the fire. I remember it because it was conclusive that it was NOT lithium batteries, but of course I don't recall what the starting point was.
Ah, here it is https://www.latimes.com/california/...arted-in-plastic-trash-can-atf-report-reveals
From the link:
The ATF said it found no evidence to support that the fire started where a tangled web of lithium batteries had been charging, although it noted that such batteries can ignite when they malfunction.
As a result of the fire, Coast Guard regulators placed strict new standards on charging stations aboard vessels.
Not sure what evidence they think they could have found.
