Three people were injured in a fire caused by the lithium battery of an electric bicycle. The incident occurred in a building in the Tremont neighborhood of the Bronx.
Our colleague Camila Montenegro, from Univision 41, went to the six-story building, located on 178 Avenue and 182th Street. From there she confirmed that the incident occurred at 2:41 this Sunday and that the first floor apartment was the most affected.
Two people live in the property, but a third was visiting and unfortunately witnessed the fire, the reporter explained.
He was also able to get close to the electric bicycle that started the fire, completely burned.
