I was charging my Brunton Impel and it caught on fire. I heard a pop and then there were 3 to 4 foot flames coming out of it. It caused some damage and luckily I was there when it happened since it was a hot enough and large enough of a fire that it would have caused significant damage or burnt the house down. It was the first generation blue one with 12v/16v/19v/usb outputs.
