A recent incident in Tulsa, Oklahoma serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers associated with lithium-ion batteries. The Tulsa Fire Department shared a video captured from a home that shows a dog inadvertently causing a serious house fire by chewing on a lithium-ion battery.
The footage, posted on the fire department's Facebook page, depicts a dog chewing on a lithium-ion battery that was meant for charging cell phones. As the dog bites down on the battery, sparks begin to fly, eventually leading to a fire that engulfs the cushions on the floor of the living room where the incident took place.
