Video footage released by London Fire Brigade to help raise awareness for their #ChargeSafe campaign captures the moment when an e-scooter on charge bursts into flames before a huge explosion of fire and smoke.

London Fire Brigade crews were called to the incident at the weekend on Cecil Road, Harlesden in Brent. Dell Williams is one of the tenants in the two-storey terraced house and was charging his e-scooter in the kitchen of the property when the fire occurred. Luckily for him, and the other residents, they were not nearby when the incident occurred.
