The Peace River Fire Department wanted to share this important fire safety message following a recent house fire in Ontario, where a family dog chewed on a heated ski glove.
The glove contained a lithium-ion battery, which was damaged and then ignited, allowing the fire to spread to nearby furniture.
This event highlights the potential risks associated with lithium-ion batteries when they are damaged.
Residents are reminded to keep battery-powered items out of reach of pets and children, avoid leaving battery-powered or charging devices on furniture or bedding, and to safely dispose of damaged batteries or devices.
More information on this incident is available through CBC News.
