Vape Charger 'Explosion' Sees Flames Rip Through Four Terraced Homes in Major Fire

A vape exploded at 1pm on Friday on Grey Street, Gainsborough, causing a fire that tore through four terraced homes.
The fire began when an occupant removed the vape from charging, which then emitted smoke and exploded in his hand.
The blaze spread through three neighbouring houses, severely damaging them and making those homes uninhabitable while causing extensive smoke damage to a fourth.
Helen Tooley, who manages the group at Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue, emphasized the importance of charging vapes and other electronic devices with appropriate chargers and storing them safely.
Three people were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, while community support, including a GoFundMe fundraiser, offers aid to those who lost homes.
