A lithium-ion battery sparked yet another fast-moving fire, this one in New York City on Sunday, leveling a supermarket and neighboring laundromat, authorities said.
Firefighters had water on five-minute-old flames inside Concourse Food Plaza, about 2 miles north of Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, but the blaze was already out of control, officials said.
An electric mobility device, possibly an e-bike powered by a lithium-ion battery, is blamed for the five-alarm fire, which was touched off at 10:40 a.m. ET.
