🚨 Breaking: Two men were rescued from a burning building in Harehills and the fire service have confirmed what they believe to have caused the blaze
’s group manager for Leeds District, said: “While investigations are still on going into the cause of the fire, we believe it may have been started by a lithium battery igniting. Thankfully, smoke detectors were in place at this house, which alerted the occupants early enough so we could get there and assist everyone to safety.“We are seeing a rise in incidents which are involving lithium batteries across West Yorkshire, as are other places nationally.
“Our advice is to try and store and charge e-bikes and e-scooters in a safe location if possible, such as in a shed or garage, and if they must be stored inside, make sure there is smoke detection fitted and your means of escape is not obstructed. Please follow our advice on using safe charging and ensure everyone in your home knows what to do in the event of a fire.”
