People are being warned about the risks of electronic devices after a fire at a house in Kings Bromley.

The incident happened at 11am yesterday (30th November) on Manor Road.

An investigation found the fire had been caused by a lithium-ion battery in a massage gun.

Station manager Jordan Money from Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service said such rechargeable batteries can be found in a range of electrical items such as phones, laptops and tablets – but warned they are a fire risk if they are over-charged, short-circuited or damaged.

> “When using electronic devices, always use the official charger and don’t be tempted to use cheap counterfeit replicas instead – many fail to meet UK safety regulations leading to fires and injury.  
>  
> “Always make sure you replace any damaged cables and chargers.  
>  
> “Don’t leave items continuously on charge after the charge cycle is complete. It’s best not to leave your phone plugged in overnight for example.  
>  
> “Never cover chargers or charging devices – that includes using your laptop power lead in bed.”  
>  
> Jordan Money, Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service

No-one was injured in the incident.
