The London Fire Brigade has issued a critical warning following two fires caused by e-bike and e-scooter lithium batteries, resulting in the destruction of two homes. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but two individuals required hospital treatment, and tragically, two dogs lost their lives. The fires in West Hampstead and Feltham occurred within a 24-hour span, highlighting the dangerous potential of faulty or modified batteries. Fire officials are urging owners to adhere to safety guidelines to mitigate fire risks from these popular devices.
When these batteries fail, they can cause ferocious fires, and the consequences can be devastating.
It's extremely fortunate that no people have been seriously hurt but a dog was sadly found dead at the scene of each fire.
Both homes completely damaged by fire and smoke.
We urge people who own these devices to follow the safety advice that will help to protect those around them.
