Chapel Hill Fire Chief's Dog Causes House Fire with Lithium-Ion Battery

Chapel Hill, NC – Newly released surveillance footage from the Chapel Hill Fire Department shows Fire Chief David Sasser's dog, Colton, accidentally igniting a fire. The video captures Colton chewing a lithium-ion battery, causing it to spontaneously combust on a living room rug. The department clarified that the battery, though fully charged and unplugged, was not stored safely, allowing the dog to access and damage it. Fortunately, Colton sustained only smoke exposure, and the fire was contained to the rug, causing no structural damage. This incident serves as a critical reminder from the Chapel Hill Fire Department about the importance of safely storing and using lithium-ion batteries to prevent household hazards.
