Bristol house blaze 'caused by charging e-scooter batteries'

Published 30 March 2022

A house was engulfed by flames when batteries from a charging e-scooter
caught on fire.

The house in Ilminster Avenue, Knowle, Bristol, was "well alight" when fire
crews arrived on Wednesday at 07:30 GMT.

The ground floor and kitchen was damaged. Nobody was hurt in the blaze.

Avon Fire and Rescue said the cause of the fire is "thought to have been
accidental ignition" involving Lithium Ion batteries.
