FNDY officials say five people are hurt, including two children, after a lithium-ion battery caused a fire in an apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn early Tuesday morning.

It comes as the department said, more than 200 fires in the city have been sparked by lithium-ion batteries this year.

Cellphone video shows what witnesses said is the inside of the burned apartment located at 120 Menahan Street where firefighters had to rescue victims from a what they call a large fire.

“The cops came banging on the door,” Yahira Casiano, a resident of the building, said. “So I heard the explosion, I heard the boom.

The second-floor home inside the seven-story apartment building in the Hope Gardens Public Housing Complex appeared to be completely destroyed.

“We have been imploring local manufacturers, Amazon, online retailers to stop selling these unsafe batteries,” FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanaugh said.

“Lithium-ion batteries produce a tremendous amount of fire and thick black smoke and those are the conditions our members encountered,” Fire Chief Kevin Woods said.

Shortly after 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, emergency responders began evacuating three fire victims from the second floor and another two from the seventh floor.

Two of the injured were taken to the hospital with critical injuries, one with serious injuries and two children are said to be stable.

“The young lady that was in the apartment, they took the 5-year-old daughter out and then they basically took the mother out,” Casiano said.

She said she lives just several doors down from the source of the fire with her mother, granddaughter and three children.

“The police department and fire department were telling us to go down the stairs, but we were choking as we were going down because the black smoke was too much,” she said.

“My kids, I was just worried about getting my kids, just getting them out of there safely,” Patrick Rawlings, another building resident, said.

The FDNY says they have responded to 216 fires caused by lithium-ion batteries this year, that have resulted in 120 injuries and 14 deaths. All numbers are higher than the entirety of last year.

“I was so traumatized with all the fire that was basically coming out of the apartment,” Casiano said. “It was a scary situation.”

It appears only the apartment that caught fire on the second floor is uninhabitable.

Separately, Local law 39 took effect last month banning the sale or rental of e-bikes and e-scooters, unless the batteries for the devices have been certified by an accredited testing lab.
