According to fire crews, flames erupted at about 4 a.m. at the house on Bee Cave near Huebner Road and Northwest Military Highway. The fire was quickly put out and it does not appear there was serious damage to the home. Firefighters said the fire appeared to be an electrical issue at the outlet in the garage where an electric car was plugged in; the homeowner said a fish tank plugged into the same wall was making also 'weird' noises. No one was hurt.

Hans-Otto Schjerven, head of the Vestfold Fire Department, says rechargeable lithium batteries can cause "fires that are difficult to extinguish and the batteries emit fire that quickly spreads." After the blaze Wednesday evening, he says such batteries can be "capricious" and urged people to avoid recharging them indoors. Schjerven says on Facebook that although firefighters were quickly at the scene, one apartment was wrecked by the fire and three adjacent dwellings suffered smoke damage, forcing the tenants to spend the night elsewhere. Nobody was injured in the fire. Details of the scooter and its battery were not released.
