A fire occurred at a residential garage in Ann Arbor around 12:30 p.m. on September 18, with initial investigations suggesting a possible cause related to a lithium-ion battery.

The Ann Arbor Fire Department received the call and quickly dispatched crews to the scene at 300 Skydale Drive. Upon arrival, firefighters found flames and smoke coming from the attached garage.

Fortunately, no one was home at the time of the incident, and there were no reported injuries.

The fire is suspected to have been caused by a malfunctioning lithium-ion battery from household appliances or an electric vehicle. Overcharging, short-circuiting, or damage to lithium-ion batteries can lead to fire hazards.

While the exact financial losses have yet to be confirmed, preliminary estimates suggest damages could reach $50,000, primarily related to the garage and its contents.

To prevent similar incidents in the future, local authorities and fire departments are considering enhancing safety education and regulations surrounding lithium-ion battery use.

Additionally, installing effective fire detection systems is an effective measure to mitigate fire risks.
