About that Trash Truck Fire in Navy Yard Yesterday

By Prince Of Petworth

Published June 15, 2021 at 1:15PM

A reader working in Solid Waste Management writes:

“it was a fire, likely caused by a lithium battery!

You may want to warn your readers about this very dangerous phenomenon and tell them to NEVER put these types of batteries in the trash or recycling! They can often now be used in a number of products, including, sadly, greeting cards!”
