Fire marshals and insurance companies are leery about charging stations in parking garages. Regardless of fire frequency, EV fires require 10's of thousands of gallons of water and hours/days to extinguish. Fire departments aren't equipped to get equipment into a garage or the burning vehicle out of the garage. ICE car fires can be controlled by standard fire sprinklers and extinguishment can be accomplished with one or two fire hoses.

Is it the CHARGING STATIONS catching fire that they’re worried about, or the EVs themselves?

The EVs are going to be in those parking garages whether there are charging stations in them or not.
