An electric scooter’s battery explosion caused a deadly fire in a Welsh home, displacing a family and hospitalizing four children.
A family in Dinas Powys, South Wales, was displaced and four children hospitalized after an electric scooter exploded in their home just after midnight on January 9, 2026, triggering a rapid fire that destroyed the end-of-terrace house.
The blaze, which spread in minutes, caused significant structural damage, including a collapsed roof, and left the family with no possessions.
Emergency services responded quickly, evacuating the family safely.
Authorities are investigating the cause, with early evidence pointing to the scooter’s lithium-ion battery.
The incident has raised safety concerns about charging and storing such devices indoors, prompting officials to urge caution and adherence to manufacturer guidelines.
The home is now uninhabitable, and the family is staying with relatives or in temporary housing.
