An e-bike battery caught fire inside an apartment in San Jose.
Two people were inside. One got out. The other tried to fight the fire.
He made it outside… but collapsed and died shortly after.
This video breaks down what actually happened—and why lithium-ion battery fires are so dangerous.
These aren’t normal fires. When a battery goes into thermal runaway, it releases large amounts of toxic gas in seconds. In this case, carbon monoxide levels likely reached concentrations far beyond what the human body can tolerate.
If you take anything from this:
Do not try to fight a lithium-ion battery fire.
Get out. Close the door. Call 911.
