Experts are warning of the dangers posed by lithium-ion batteries after one reportedly exploded in Sherbrooke, Que., potentially causing a major building fire. Lithium-ion batteries can be found pretty much anywhere -- in phones, tablets, scooters and electric vehicles. “We had seven fires in 2021 that implicated a lithium battery,” said Montreal Fire Operations Chief Martin Guilbault. “That number tripled in 2022.” Experts say the public ought to be better informed on how to use them to avoid similar incidents.
