Vape Fires Spark Alarm
Fire services have sounded the alarm on a surge in vape-related fires, mostly caused by unsafe charging habits. Crew Manager Paul Brazier of Braintree Fire Station warns users to be vigilant.
“Never leave a vape charging unattended, and avoid charging them overnight,” said Brazier. “Always use the charger provided with your device and keep it on a hard, flat, non-flammable surface while charging.”
