Sparks in charging e-bike battery trigger fire in flat
Richa.Pinto@timesgroup.com
Mumbai: In the second such incident in as many months, sparks in an electric bike battery that was being charged inside a flat in Mazgaon, Byculla, led to a major fire on Friday afternoon. No one was injured in the incident that left the entire flat gutted.
Rafiq Shaikh, Mandvi fire station officer, told TOI: "While the battery was being charged, sparks started flying due to the charging cable and the battery got involved.
Prima facie, the cause appears to be a short-circuit." There were five people in the first-floor flat in the two-story Ahmed building at the time of the incident who ran out immediately on noticing the sparks. The flat was burnt by the time the fire was extinguished at 12.48pm. Around eight to 10 people were brought down from the building using a fire ladder as the staircase was filled with smoke.
