A viral video captured a pet dog in Oklahoma starting a house fire by chewing on a power bank, causing it to explode. The incident, recorded by a home security camera, shows two dogs and a cat in the living room. One dog grabs a lithium-ion battery pack, places it on a mattress, and begins chewing it, leading to an explosion that ignites a fire. Fortunately, all pets escaped unharmed before the Tulsa Fire Department arrived.
Officials warned that lithium-ion batteries are highly dangerous due to their energy density, which can cause explosions when damaged. The incident highlights the risks associated with these batteries, especially in homes with pets. This follows a similar case in Colorado Springs, where a dog accidentally started a kitchen fire by turning on a stove. Both incidents underscore the importance of safety precautions with pets and electronic devices.
