This is the future. Shocking footage shows e-bike burst into flames in devastating NYC fire
Shocking video captures the moment an e-bike burst into flames in the Bronx on Sunday, sparking a massive blaze that gutted a grocery store, damaged adjacent buildings and injured seven people, authorities say.
"Shocking?" Not really. Lithium ion batteries catch fire. Sometimes for no apparently reason. Once they start burning, it can be tough to get them to stop burning.
An EMS worker and a civilian were seriously hurt when the fire broke out around 10:40 a.m., officials said. Five firefighters also suffered minor injuries.
The explosive blaze was blamed on the scooter’s lithium-ion battery and rose to five alarms, requiring over 50 units and more than 200 firefighters to douse it.
And let's not forget that the fumes from a lithium-ion battery fire are extremely toxic.
