Fire rekindles at Lower East Side e-bike repair shop
LOWER EAST SIDE, Manhattan (WABC) -- There is more trouble stemming from the e-bike fire that killed four people on the Lower East Side on Tuesday.
Shortly after 6 p.m. Friday, someone noticed that the fire rekindled. It took the FDNY almost an hour to get the situation under control.
The city says it has, in fact, stepped up enforcement of lithium-ion batteries since the disaster. It has issued 11 summonses, three violation orders, and two criminal court summonses.
The mayor is asking anyone who sees unattended bikes being charged to call 311.
