Scottish Fire and Rescue Service - Your Safety

In the event of an e-bike or e-scooter lithium-ion battery fire do not attempt to extinguish the fire. GET OUT, STAY OUT, CALL 999.

The fire can be ferocious, can keep reigniting and be extremely difficult to extinguish. Vapours from the burning battery are toxic and can spread quickly, cutting off escape routes.

Don’t leave your device charging unattended or when you’re asleep.

Stay safe with our key tips: https://www.firescotland.gov.uk/…/e-bike-and-e-scooters/

I can confirm that I have been liaising with our Water Team Leader – Stuart Scammell, who has confirmed that we hope the tank will be back in service in approximately 6 weeks.
