Lithium Ion Battery Fire on East Side

Firefighters responded to the 4700 block of Camden Road for a report of a fire in a first-floor bedroom. 

Engine 5 entered the home and found a light haze of dark smoke. Inside the bedroom was a small fire around what appeared to be a bundle of lithium ion batteries. 

Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire with a small amount of water. 

Ladder 14 cleared smoke from the home as Engine 5 tore out the damaged carpeting where the fire occurred. The batteries were taken outside. 

Firefighters searched for signs of fire spread and confirmed none.  Nobody was injured or displaced.
