Dozens injured after fire in New York City: US media

At least 38 people were injured in a fire in a New York City apartment building that may have been caused by a lithium ion battery, officials told US media on Saturday.

This handout photo provided by @fdny, the social media account of the New York Fire Department, on November 5, 2022, shows damage inside a residential building that caught fire in the Manhattan borough of New York. At least 38 people were injured in a fire in a New York City apartment building that may have been caused by a lithium ion battery, officials told US media on Saturday. AFP

Two of the wounded were in critical condition and five were seriously injured after the blaze on East 52nd Street in Manhattan, CNN quoted fire commissioner Laura Kavanagh as saying. 

Dan Flynn, chief fire marshal, told CNN it was nearly the 200th fire this year caused by a lithium-ion battery from a micromobility device. Such small, light electric vehicles can include e-bikes and electric scooters.

“We’ve had six fatalities this year just from these batteries that power micromobility devices,” CNN quoted him as saying. 

Flynn said authorities believe the occupant of the apartment where the fire likely began had been repairing bikes in the building.
