Bike Battery Blamed For Gonzalez House Fire
March 21, 2024
Authorities say a lithium-ion battery was to blame for a house fire in Gonzalez.
Escambia Fire Rescue responded to a residential structure fire at the 8700 block of Chemstrand Road Monday afternoon.
Firefighters arrived to find light smoke from the front door of the single-story home. A resident reported they heard a loud pop and discovered a small fire in the office. The resident was able to stop fire progression with a fire extinguisher, and ECFR was able to remove smoke from inside the home. The occupants were not displaced or injured.
ECFR conducted the investigation and determined a lithium-ion battery for a battery-powered bike caused the fire.

Cheap batteries in expensive toys will be the death of us. How much so for parking an Electric Vehicle in your garage. Many home insurance companies refuse to cover a house that has an EV parked in the garage. What a bright blissful future they promised us.
