Dublin family highlights e-scooter risks after apartment fire injures member

A family in Dublin is warning about the dangers of e-scooters after a fire in their apartment severely injured a family member. The fire, which occurred on November 21, was reportedly caused by an e-scooter that began smoking and exploded. Lorraine Cameron suffered serious burns and spent 13 days on a ventilator. She is now in recovery but faces a long rehabilitation process. The family is currently displaced, as their apartment is uninhabitable due to fire damage. Lainey Cameron, Lorraine's daughter, emphasizes the need for awareness regarding e-scooter safety. Dublin Fire Brigade has noted a small number of e-scooter-related fires, urging users to monitor their devices for overheating and to store them outside when possible.
