RISING SUN, Md. — A lithium-ion battery charger is to blame for a Sunday evening storage shed fire in Cecil County.
It happened around 7:47pm at property in the 500 block of Conowingo Road.
The owner was trying to charge up a power tool when minutes later his shed became engulfed in flames.
"Within 10 minutes, he heard a bang and later discovered a fire in his shed," the Maryland Fire Marshal noted in a press release.
Attempts to extinguish the fire with a garden hose were unsuccessful as flames eventually spread to a nearby RV and boat.
Crews ultimately got control of the fire in about 15 minutes, but not before it inflicted approximately $25,000 in damage.
Luckily, no one was hurt.
