The Ann Arbor Fire Department says an early morning apartment fire could have easily killed someone had their smoke detector not been working.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – As the holiday season approaches, St. Petersburg Fire Rescue (SPFR) is urging residents to be mindful of the potential dangers associated with lithium-ion batteries. These batteries power many popular holiday gifts, from smartphones and tablets to toys and electric scooters.

Smoke detectors are being credited with saving an Ann Arbor resident's life after a scooter caught fire inside their home Friday morning. A lithium-ion battery is to blame for the fire.
