Yet Another E-Scooter Fire Disaster–When Will The Govt Act?

The scene after the fire on a residential street in Gosport, Hampshire

Fire chiefs have issued a warning after an e-scooter was blamed for a devastating blaze that tore through a row of seven houses.



Families in Gosport, Hampshire, were forced to flee their homes on Wednesday evening, after a fire broke out at a three-storey property before spreading to surrounding buildings.

A spokesman for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service said: “The initial reports and the preliminary fire investigation has found that an e-scooter is the most likely cause of the fire.

“The main danger occurs when e-bikes and e-scooters are left on charge and unattended in homes or in communal areas such as hallways and stairwells.

“Charging lithium batteries indoors increases the fire risk, especially if charged overnight when occupants are sleeping.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

When Will The Govt Act?

Likely as not, never.  To do so would be to admit the government has been wrong all along and would weaken the power base they are establishing over the people. :nono:
