FDNY Battalion Chief Michael Stone stated, "The fire condition wasn't that severe, but the smoke condition was. The smoke from those lithium-ion batteries, fires, are very toxic. It's a little bit different from your regular smoke." This highlights the unique dangers posed by fires involving lithium-ion batteries, which can produce more toxic smoke compared to conventional fires.
The Chief remarked that they discovered "several burning e-bikes powered by lithium-ion batteries." This underscores the increasing risk of fires related to e-bikes, particularly as their use proliferates in urban environments.
