    The product, in the report: 500w battery power pack

    (02/21/2023 11:21 AM) Fire caused by lithium battery. The battery was inside of the house. It had been on charge overnight. Teenagers who were inside of the house unplugged the power pack and was leaving the house when they saw smoke coming from the product. It then burst into flames. When they tried to remove it, it started to flame and spark again. They finally removed it from the house and called 911.

    The fire department dug a hole and put the battery in the ground. Even thought it was buried in dirt and snow, the battery was still generating heat.
