Hot Car

A routine day turned into chaos in Mooroolbark recently when a lithium battery-powered tool caused a fire in a car park. Witnesses described the scene as smoke filled the air and flames engulfed a vehicle within minutes

The incident, which occurred around lunchtime in the terrace car park, left the owner of the vehicle devastated. The fire, sparked by the power tool's lithium battery, spread rapidly, leaving destruction in its wake

This serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with lithium battery-powered devices

While convenient, these tools can pose significant fire hazards if mishandled or left unattended.

Individuals must handle these devices cautiously, following manufacturer guidelines for proper use, storage, and maintenance Community members should also remain vigilant and report any safety concerns promptly.
