Firefighters in South Bristol are warning people to check their children’s toys after a one person was injured when a hoverboard caught fire while it was charging in a house in Knowle overnight.
The blaze caused minor damage in one room, but was contained as firefighters from Bedminster arrived quickly to extinguish the flames and take the hoverboard outside.
Now, firefighters are urging people to check the latest safety information about hoverboards, check if their hoverboard isn’t one of the ones that have been recalled because of fire safety fears, and to take steps to re-charge them safely.
