Just hours after Mayor Adams and Fire Commissioner Kavanaugh announced plans to prevent fires due to lithium-ion batteries, another one broke out in Brokoklyn.
An e-scooter battery briefly caught fire inside a building located at 6801 20th Avenue in Bensonhurst Wednesday around 8 p.m. Sonia Rincon has the developing story., another battery started a fire in Brooklyn.
At least two people suffered minor burns and smoke inhalation from the fire and were transported to a local hospital. Eyewitness News was told that a tenant in the building used a fire extinguisher and firefighters did not have to put out any flames when they got there, it was just smoke.The owner of the building who did not want to speak with Eyewitness News on camera says it is actually in the lease that tenants are not allowed to have lithium-ion battery-powered mobility devices inside.
"Things you can look for: Batteries being charged less than 3 feet apart," Kavanaugh said. "Multiple batteries being charged at once. Extension cords and most especially batteries that look like they might be tampered with. And locations that look like they are not properly licensed businesses."
