Firefighters issue urgent safety warning after three homes gutted in one week due to e-bike fires

Firefighters are renewing their efforts to warn Londoners about the dangers of e-bikes, e-scooters and lithium batteries following three severe fires in three separate parts of London in one week.

All three fires are believed to have been caused by the catastrophic failures of lithium batteries for an e-bike. The incidents are yet another example of why the Brigade has been running its #ChargeSafe campaign, with e-bikes and e-scooters becoming one of the capital’s fastest-growing fire risks.
