A recently released video captured the moment a dog<\/a> belonging to a North Carolina fire chief\u00a0ironically sparked a small house fire in Chapel Hill by chewing on a lithium-ion battery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Chapel Hill Fire Department released the video last Monday, with Fox 13 Tampa Bay<\/a> reporting Fire Chief David Sasser\u2019s dog, Colton, as the cause of the incident.<\/p>\n

According to the department, the battery was fully charged, unplugged and not subject to any recalls, but it had not been stored safely.<\/p>\n

“Colton is a good boy, but he counter-surfed while his humans were away and got hold of a device with a lithium-ion battery,” the fire department said in a post on Facebook.<\/p>\n

“Colton was able to get the battery, break its protective features by chewing on it, and ended up causing a fire<\/a>,” the department added.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Colton escaped with only minor smoke exposure, and the house remained largely intact, with only a rug sustaining damage.<\/p>\n

Colton “now safely hangs out in a crate when his humans are away,” the department said.<\/p>\n

The fire department used the incident to stress the importance of properly charging, storing and handling lithium-ion batteries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“They store a lot of energy in a small place, from power tools and headphones to laptops and smart watches. If overcharged or damaged, these batteries can overheat, start a fire, or explode,” the department<\/a> said in a separate post on Facebook.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
