Possibly, but give it time.
Most Hi-lift injuries are caused by incompetence or stupidity, most EV fires are not.

The sort of vessel which is most likely to have to deal with an EV fire is also the sort of vehicle for which the infamous free surface area problem is likely to be significant. It is surprising how little water on the car deck of a ferry is needed to cause a complete and very rapid loss off the vessel. Think Herald of Free Enterprise.
And i know the man for the job.......A Proper Job
Although there are some practical difficulties, I imagine that the most effective measure for dealing with an EV fire on a ferry would be to jettison the vehicle overboard very promptly. It would be shame that you'd probably also have to jettison a number of other vehicles in order to do this, but they'd be lost when the ship sank anyway.

Jettisoning an EV on fire from a roll on roll off vessel would be impossible - the insides of these ships are like 15 floor totally closed in multi-storey car parks and the cars are almost rubbing together they are stowed so close together, and there aren’t open decks on them to shove them off anyway!
