Tiny Fire recently responded to an incident that involved a lithium-ion battery device being charged where the battery and the charger did not have an approved safety certification. Firefighters noted that the device caught fire overnight in a resident’s home while charging. This incident was thankfully minor as the device was being charged on a hard surface and noticed immediately by the occupant. Had this been in an area other than next to the homeowner, the outcome may have been more serious. This serves as a strong reminder to practice lithium-ion battery safety.
