☆ Three Children and 10 Firefighters Injured in Two Brooklyn Fires
  + stars: | 2023-08-20 | by ( Erin Nolan | Chelsia Rose Marcius | More About Erin Nolan | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Three children who had been left home alone were in “extremely critical condition” and 10 firefighters were injured after two fires tore through an apartment building and several businesses in Brooklyn on Sunday, officials said. All 13 patients were in stable condition on Sunday afternoon, but the three children — ages 4, 5 and 8 — were hospitalized with severe injuries. One firefighter’s condition was considered critical but he responded well to treatment and was alert on Sunday afternoon, Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh said during a news conference. The three children were injured when fire broke out in an 11th-floor apartment just after 11 a.m. in a 14-floor building in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, said the Fire Department chief of department, John Hodgens, during the news conference. Firefighters responded to the scene quickly, but Chief Hodgens said the apartment was locked, and they had to force open the door before they could crawl in.

☆ Uber is funding an e-bike trade-in program to curb battery fires

CNN —Uber is funding a new program that aims to get electric bikes with dangerous non-certified lithium-ion batteries off New York City streets. The news follows a string of fires caused by lithium-ion batteries, which have been known to overheat when charging and cause massive explosions. Earlier this week, the New York City police department said an e-bike’s lithium-ion battery was behind a fatal two-alarm fire in Queens. The FDNY’s Chief fire marshal John Hodgens said it was the 59th fire in the city this year caused by a lithium-ion battery. Part of the issue is that not all lithium-ion batteries are created equal.
