At least seven people have been injured in a five-alarm fire in the Bronx neighborhood of New York City thought to have been caused by a lithium-ion battery, according to fire officials.
A civilian and an emergency services worker were seriously injured, and five firefighters received minor injuries, the New York Fire Department told CNN Sunday.
"In all of these fires, these lithium-ion fires, it is not a slow burn there's not a small amount of fire, it literally explodes," Kavanagh said."It's a tremendous volume of fire as soon as it happens, and it's very difficult to extinguish and so it's particularly dangerous." The commissioner said more investigation needed into why the bike burst into flames. She said it may have been using an illegal battery.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams told Sunday's news conference:"Our real push is to inform the public that something as simple and seen as recreational can be extremely dangerous and can take the lives of innocent people. This is a real problem we are having in the city."
