On the morning of February 6, 2025, a man in Ann Arbor suffered burns to his hands after an electric longboard caught fire inside his home. According to the fire department, the fire occurred on Pontiac Trail near Swift Street while the man was using an electric longboard. The lithium-ion battery of the longboard malfunctioned and overheated, leading to the fire. The fire spread to the front yard, resulting in an estimated property loss of $2,000.

On February 6, 2025, a fire caused by an electric longboard in Ann Arbor resulted in a man suffering burns to his hands. According to the fire department’s report, the fire occurred around 7 a.m., while the man was using his electric longboard at home. The lithium-ion battery of the longboard malfunctioned and overheated, eventually leading to the fire. The flames spread quickly to the front yard, and by the time the firefighters arrived, the fire had already engulfed the longboard. Although the fire was promptly controlled and extinguished by the fire department, the fire caused an estimated property loss of $2,000.
The cause of the fire is believed to be related to the lithium battery in the longboard. Lithium batteries are prone to malfunctioning and causing fires when overcharged, short-circuited, or overheated. This fire highlights the risks associated with lithium battery-powered devices, particularly when used in home or indoor environments. The fire occurred early in the morning at around 7 a.m., a time when most of the residents were still asleep, making it harder for them to detect the fire in time, which further escalated the danger. Had the fire occurred during the night without anyone noticing, the consequences could have been far more disastrous.
After the incident, Jonethan James, the owner of the electric longboard, clarified that the fire department initially described the incident as a “scooter fire,” but he clarified that it was actually an electric longboard. Regardless of the type of device, this fire still serves as a reminder of the potential risks of lithium battery-powered devices.
The incident underscores the dangers of battery overheating and fires. While the fire was quickly contained, the property loss was significant. At this point, it is crucial to have effective measures in place to detect and prevent fire expansion, as well as to detect and control fire at the earliest stage. Planck Vision Systems’ thermal imaging technology is key in preventing such incidents. Its advanced thermal imaging technology can detect early signs of overheating or malfunctioning devices and issue immediate alerts, helping to prevent the spread of fires. This technology provides crucial safety protection for electric longboards, electric vehicles, and other devices.
As lithium battery-powered devices become more common, detecting and alerting to abnormal conditions in such equipment is vital for reducing fire-related losses. Planck Vision Systems’ thermal imaging technology can detect minute temperature changes with high precision, providing real-time alerts, which not only helps prevent fires but also gives valuable response time during the initial stages of a fire, thus safeguarding lives and property.
