A surge in garage fires has sparked concerns among residents and fire departments alike, with at least one recent local San Tan Valley fire being traced back to the charging of lithium-ion batteries. Fire departments across the nation have been grappling with a significant increase in fires caused by these batteries, which power a wide range of devices, including vapes, computers, cell phones, e-bikes, and e-scooters.
In New York, over 200 fires have been reportedly caused by e-bikes, electric scooters, and similar mobility devices, making lithium-ion battery explosions the third leading cause of fires in the city, according to the fire department. Rural Metro Fire has also observed a dramatic uptick in garage fires, a common location for charging lithium-ion batteries in tools and micro mobility devices.SanTanValley.com is your #1 resource for anything in and around San Tan Valley, AZ.
