London Fire Brigade described a flat fire in Colindale. Fire damaged part of a room and smoke affected the rest of the flat. No injuries were reported.
Level of certainty
The brigade identified failure of a power bank’s lithium-ion battery as the suspected cause. We retain that qualification instead of presenting it as a final finding.
Why revisit this incident?
This is an archived case for discussions about devices used in homes and offices, not a new October fire.
