Dog in the United States Starts House Fire by Chewing on Lithium-Ion Battery (Video)
A dog in the United States triggered a house fire by chewing on a lithium-ion battery, as captured on CCTV. To highlight the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries, the Tulsa Fire Department released a video showing a dog igniting a house fire by chewing on a battery cable.
“Lithium-ion batteries store a significant amount of energy in a compact space,” said the TFD. “However, if this energy is released uncontrollably, it can generate heat, produce flammable and toxic gases, and even lead to explosions.”
The video shows two dogs and a cat in a living room, captured by an indoor camera. One dog chews on a lithium-ion battery pack until it explodes, causing a fire.
The fire was quickly extinguished by the fire department, and all the pets escaped through a dog door.
