Bicycle battery causes high-rise fire in New York

Date:

At least 38 people have been injured in a fire in a New York apartment building. The fire is believed to have been caused by the lithium-ion battery of an electric bicycle, according to preliminary findings. It is not the first incident of this nature.

A spectacular rescue came from a fire in central New York. The lithium-ion battery of an e-bike caused a fire in a residential building. At least 38 people were injured. Two of the injured are in life-threatening condition, a fire service spokesman said. A woman and another person could only be rescued through the window of their apartment.

Photos show emergency services rescue a woman through a window. Fire chief Dan Flynn said there have been 200 fires in New York this year caused by lithium-ion batteries for electric bicycles or e-scooters. Six people were killed as a result.
