Lithium-ion #battery in #ebike #explodes, sparks fire in Sydney unit overnight.

(It would be handy if they said the brand of the ebike)

A lithium-ion battery from an ebike exploded in a unit in #Sydney overnight, with seven people being treated for smoke inhalation.

Seven Fire and Rescue NSW trucks and 28 firefighters responded to an automatic fire alarm in a 26-storey unit block on George Street at about 11.50pm.

A battery was #charging in the lounge room of a level-six unit when it #exploded and caught #fire, a statement said. The occupants managed to escape and the automatic sprinkler system extinguished the fire.

FRNSW evacuated an additional 80-100 people as a precaution, however they were able to return a short time later.

The occupants of the unit were treated on scene by paramedics for smoke inhalation but were not taken to hospital.
