One appliance and crew from Beaconsfield and one from High Wycombe attended.
Smoke was issuing from a garage, attached to a house, when they arrived.
The firefighters used:
- Two sets of breathing apparatus
- One hose reel jet
- A positive pressure ventilation fan
The fire was contained within the garage; however, smoke had affected the house.
The fire was believed to have been caused by an electric bike which had been on charge in the garage.
Most electric bikes and scooters are powered by lithium-ion batteries – if you are thinking of buying one, or already own one, please read our tips which provide some basic fire safety advice which can help keep you and your property safe.
