Firefighters got to the scene of the fire on Toronto Street Thursday night, shortly before midnight
A family has been forced to find a new home after the house they rented in Winnipeg was completely gutted in a fire that they say was caused by an electronic bike.Firefighters were at the scene of the fire on Toronto Street around midnight on Thursday.
"I came down; the bike was engulfed and shooting out battery acid," she said. "I ran upstairs to get my kids, and when we came down it was already black and all lit up — and I couldn't get my dogs." "We lost everything," she said. "I've had family help me with clothing and food and stuff. It's not easy asking for help."
"These big companies that sell these electric bikes, they leave these batteries charging all night until they come back in the morning and then people use them and rent them. So I never thought it would be a problem." Michael Pasquali, the association's founder, says as the e-bike market continues to grow exponentially, it's important for sellers to educate the public on how their products work.
