A family’s routine morning in Forest Lake turned alarming due to an unexpected e-bike fire. Emergency services swiftly responded to the incident, showcasing the community’s resilience and preparedness in the face of unexpected dangers.
On the morning of 1 Dec 2023, residents of Oldbury Place in Forest Lake were startled by the sight of an e-bike engulfed in flames. The fire, which broke out early in the day, prompted an urgent call to emergency services.
Queensland Ambulance was quick to the scene, where they assessed the wellbeing of the affected family, including two adults and two children.
Remarkably, all family members were found to be in a stable condition, having been exposed to smoke but not requiring hospitalisation.
“Patients have been exposed to smoke but are in a stable condition,” a spokesperson for Queensland Ambulance confirmed.
As the fire crews arrived, they found the e-bike fire already extinguished. Their focus then shifted to ensuring the safety of the property and its occupants by ventilating the home. A spokeswoman from the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) stated that one crew remained on site and investigated the cause of the fire, highlighting the importance of understanding and preventing such incidents in the future.
