Devices may overheat and cause a fire when charged on soft surfaces like couches and beds. Only charge lithium-ion battery devices on hard surfaces – never soft surfaces. More lithium-ion battery safety tips here: https://t.co/xGtp0I9qIR #Toronto #safety

Another lithium-ion battery fire in the city this afternoon, this incident involving e-bikes in a shed. Lithium-ion battery safety matters. The increasing frequency and severity of these fires continues to be a serious public safety concern across our city. #Toronto

[Toronto Fire Services 🇨🇦 @Toronto_Fire]

Fire crews remain on scene of a fire at Roncesvalles Ave and The Queensway. Multiple e-bikes were involved, leading to a fully involved shed fire. Responding crews were able to contain the fire to its origin and there were no injuries. #toronto ^dc

Two fires in recent days at the Ashwarren Rd recycling facility were confirmed as caused by lithium-ion batteries in thermal runaway. The frequency and intensity of LIB fires continue to increase across our city, along with the risk to the public and firefighters. #Toronto
