HERNDON, VA — A malfunction involving a charging, lithium-ion battery pack started a fire that caused $93,750 in damage to a Frying Pan area townhouse on Saturday morning, according to Fairfax County fire inspectors.
Units from Fairfax County Fire & Rescue responded around 9:36 a.m., for the report of a fire at a townhouse in the 13000 block of Rose Petal Circle in the Herndon area of the county, according to a blog post.
When crews arrived, fire was visible from the third floor of a middle-unit townhouse. Crews were able to bring the fire under control quickly, containing it to the third floor with only a minor extension into the attic of the three-story unit.
No civilians nor fire personnel were injured and two dogs were rescued from the home.
