A fire involving several electric bicycles broke out in a storage facility, but the building's sprinkler system quickly contained the blaze, averting a larger incident. Emergency responders arrived shortly after the alarm sounded on March 19 at around 8:41 a.m. Officials assessed the situation and called for a hazmat team due to the potential risks from the e-bikes' lithium-ion batteries, which can lead to thermal runaway.
