JFRD Capt. Eric Prosswimmer said you need to be careful about lithium batteries getting overheated. If they’re even hot to the touch they can go into thermal runaway and release toxic gases that rapidly ignite a burn.
The effort came after a home in the Nobel Community of E-Town was destroyed Wednesday morning when lithium batteries on a golf cart caught fire in the garage.
“We know that we have some in our lawnmower here at our home, and we leave it plugged in all the time,” Orth said. “So to hear that -- my wife Caitlyn unplugged it immediately.”“It shows all the different things that have lithium batteries in it -- like a computer. I didn’t even know that,” Evan Orth said.
