This afternoon, City Fire- A-shift responded to, and quickly extinguished, a residential structure fire on Newcomb St. The cause of the fire was a Lithium Ion E-bike battery which went into thermal runaway. Fortunately, one quick-thinking young resident closed the door to the fire room before evacuating the home, containing the majority of heat to that room and limiting fire spread to the rest of the house. All occupants were reported safe, including the family turtle.
Remember:
• Always charge lithium ion batteries using the manufacturer’s recommended charger
• Keep an eye on batteries while they’re charging
• Look for warning signs of thermal runaway such as swelling, overheating, strange odors, leaking, or smoking
• Never charge batteries near exits or in sleeping areas
• Stop using damaged batteries immediately
• If a battery begins smoking or catches fire, evacuate and call 911 🔥

Your firefighters were once again working alongside crews.
Today more resources arrived from around the state and are primarily in Norther Putnam/ Southern Clay County. These images were from a separate fire off of Hwy 19 south of Palatka. These communities have been incredibly appreciative and everywhere the crews have been, they have been met with warm greetings. We wanted to take a moment to thank for their commitment to helping our neighbors and encouraging the department to help where needed.
