Friday, #FDNY Fire Marshals made their first arrest under NYC Local Law 39. The law prohibits the sale, lease, rental, or distribution of powered micro-mobility devices like e-bikes, e-scooters, & batteries unless they have been certified by an accredited testing laboratory.

Today, I joined @usfa Administrator Dr. Lori Moore-Merrell, officials from U-L & the Fire Safety Research Institute, and John Butler, President of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, to speak on a panel about lithium-ion battery dangers at the U.S. Conference of Mayors.

In case you haven’t seen the FDNY’s latest PSA about the dangers of lithium-ion batteries, check it out. It took 2.5 minutes for a lithium-ion battery to ignite. We showed this video to legislators Wednesday to advocate for more laws to keep dangerous batteries out of the U.S.

My meetings with legislators to push for more regulation on lithium-ion batteries are going well. Several leaders I’ve spoken with have seen major fires caused by them in their own states. Lithium-ion battery fires are not just a New York City problem.

Per FDNY Fire Marshals, cause of Saturday’s 2-alarm fire at an e-bike shop located at 119-07 Liberty Ave. in QNS was a lithium-ion battery. A DVR shows smoke coming from the battery - and within 20 seconds - you see a shower of sparks, flames, & explosions. We sped up the video.

FDNY Fire Marshals determined the all-hands fire at 2022 57th Street in Brooklyn this am was caused by lithium-ion batteries. The fire was on the 3rd fl of a 3-story residence. Fire Marshals say there was an illegal e-bike/e-scooter repair shop operating at that location.

So far this year, 18 people have been killed by fires caused by lithium-ion batteries. These fires are dangerous and fast-moving. Just last month, the @FSRI_org produced a powerful video demonstrating why it is so difficult to escape from a fire started by a lithium-ion battery.

Thanks @fox5ny for the interview! E-bikes can be safe to purchase if they are certified and as long as you use the proper charger that comes with the device. Learn how to Take C.H.A.R.G.E. of #BatteryFireSafety at batteryfiresafety.org. #ebike

“We must all be vigilant and know the warning signs of an unsafe device. If you believe you're lithium-ion battery device is unsafe - stop using it immediately and report it to CPSC on SaferProducts.gov.” Learn about #BatteryFireSafety at batteryfiresafety.org. @USCPSC

This demonstration would behave very differently inside your home. The smoke would fill the room and once there is a spark to ignite the gases being released, there could be an explosion that would then ignite furnishings. This could leave you with one minute or less to escape.

FDNY investigators have determined that an e-scooter battery caused a fire that killed three people in Brooklyn over the weekend. So far this year, e-bike and e-scooter fire deaths in NYC are up a staggering 183% over last year. Get safety tips at nfpa.org/ebikes.

“We are learning how to mitigate #lithiumionbattery fires every time we respond. It is critical that we continue research to develop mitigation strategies and continue to share public messaging such as the Take C.H.A.R.G.E. of Battery Safety campaign.” @usfire #BatteryFireSafety

With our partners @atfhq @usfa @uscpsc @fsri_org @ul_standards we are launching a national safety campaign to educate the public about the dangers of lithium-ion batteries. This is a crisis in our city. We are also doing a demo to show how explosive these devices are.
