Last night, a sudden fire broke out in an e-bike rental shop in Sydney, causing approximately 50 individuals to quickly evacuate their nearby apartment building. The incident occurred on Shepherd Street, located in the bustling inner-city suburb of Chippendale, just before 1am this morning.
Upon arrival, firefighters were met with billowing smoke emanating from the front roller door of the shop. As they worked to contain the flames, residents living in the apartments above the shop were instructed to leave the building for safety reasons. It was a chaotic and alarming scene as people hurriedly gathered their belongings and evacuated the premises.
According to the firefighters, the origin of the fire may have been a lithium-ion battery that was being charged at the time. As a precautionary measure, the battery was immediately removed and submerged in water to prevent any further damage or danger. Thankfully, the fire was eventually extinguished and the residents were able to return to their homes.
This frightening incident serves as a reminder of the importance of fire safety and the potential hazards of certain devices. The quick response and actions of the firefighters undoubtedly helped to prevent the situation from escalating. Let us all take this as a lesson to always be cautious and vigilant in our surroundings.
