A few days ago, a fire broke out in a house on Jingyu South Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai due to illegal charging of electric bicycles.
At that time, the battery of the electric bicycle was placed in front of the TV cabinet in the living room to charge. After a few seconds, the battery suddenly smoked and caught fire. Then, the owner of the household was about to unplug the charging plug, but the battery immediately exploded, and the entire living room was instantly covered by thick smoke. Fortunately, the owner quickly used the fire extinguisher and extinguished the fire battery and ignited curtains, but the losses caused were also quite serious.
Fang Hanwen, instructor of Neijiang Fire Rescue Station in Yangpu District, said: "After we arrived at the scene, we found that the TV screen in our home had been burnt out. The curtains and air conditioners two meters away were also damaged, including the sofa and walls, and were also blackened." Although the open flame was quickly extinguished, the owner of the household charged the electric bicycle battery at home shocked the firefighters.
Yang Weiwen, head of the News and Publicity Section of Yangpu Fire Brigade, said that electric batteries now use lithium batteries. If the battery cells of lithium batteries get out of control, they will cause spontaneous combustion or explosion.
Fire accidents are huge. I hope that the majority of electric bicycle users will strictly abide by charging safety regulations, protect their own safety, and protect their family safety.
