Upon arrival, crews discovered a fire in a dustcart. Firefighters used one hose reel to extinguish the fire before using a thermal imagine camera to check for hotspots.
A disposable vape was identified as the cause of the fire. If you use a produce containing a lithium-ion battery, please ensure that you dispose of the product properly. Read more about electrical fire safety on our website.
