The smoke becomes very toxic and even lethal in such situations I suspect.

Investigators examine damage from fire in robotics lab at Lake Superior State University
https://www.9and10news.com/2023/09/27/one-building-closed-on-lake-superior-state-university-campus-due-to-fire-investigation/On Thursday morning, the Sault Ste. Marie fire chief, Michigan State Police fire investigators and insurance adjusters examined the damage from the fire at LSSU.
The fire chief told 9&10 News that the fire started at or near a machine in the engineering and robotics labs in the Center for Applied Science and Engineering Technology Building. He said several robotic machines were damaged or destroyed.
The soot and the smoke was not like what you see in a normal fire. It has a lot of by-products from the components of the equipment so plastics and heavy metals in the batteries so it’s really greasy and it sticks and it’s really hard to clean,”
