Yep, try not to drive over large sharp objects in the roadway. I would love to know what it was though. Those packs are pretty robust. Nice that you get time to pull over and get out before the fire gets out of hand. Which is pretty much standard unless you were going 100mph into a tree. Yep, they burn a while, hard to put out. Sorry, not super worried about this aspect. I imagine the means to put them out faster will be deployed as their numbers grow.
Does insurance cover it?

Of course. If you run into a jack handle that punctures your gas tank and your car burns, would insurance cover that?
No idea.
I'm guessing you did something stupid like that?

Nope, worst thing I ever hit was the heavy rubber base for the road barrels that some semi sent flying like a frisbee.....acted more like a boomerang and came a back at us. Big truck behind, one lane construction zone so no where to dodge.
Did successfully dodge a 10 foot aluminum ladder on 395 once.
Not sure why you characterize running over something on the road as stupid however. Stuff happens.
In early October 2020, swerved to avoid car crash debris on I-83 south of York, PA. on my way back from mom's funeral.
There was other debris I did not see, Slow leak puncture in the gas tank and bent the heat shield.
Insurance covered the repair.
I was kidding.
