On Saturday morning, an electric vehicle began smoking and exploded inside a home’s garage, forcing an evacuation and rattling nearby residents in Boulder, Colorado.
According to KMGH-TV, the incident occurred around 6 a.m. on Emerald Road, where Boulder Fire-Rescue crews raced to the scene after receiving reports of a vehicle smoking in a garage.
Upon arrival, firefighters quickly called for backup as the electric vehicle had already exploded, filling the home with smoke.
“It sounded like an aircraft had crashed right here and exploded,” recounted neighbor Skip Miller, whose home is located adjacent to the property.
Firefighters remained on site for several hours, working to ventilate the smoke-filled residence and safely remove the vehicle’s remains from the garage.
It’s not just electric cars.
