Lithium battery warehouse goes up in flames
A warehouse in France storing lithium batteries caught
fire on Saturday, amid growing fears over their safety.
The fire on Saturday afternoon occurred at a storehouse
in the southern town of Viviez, in Aveyron, where 900
tons of lithium batteries were waiting to be recycled.
Authorities ordered residents to stay indoors and keep
their windows closed as thick smoke billowed over the
town. No injuries or deaths were reported and the cause
of the fire has yet to be established.
Lithium batteries, found in electric scooters and
vacuum cleaners, are known to spontaneously combust if
they overheat or become damaged. Their dangers have
raised concerns in countries where e-bikes have been
promoted as a climate-friendly mode of transportation.
