That fire destroyed as many as 60 e-bikes, now a pile of charred metal outside of the shop.
The fire chief says e-bikes likely played a big role in this fire and the bikes are causing some serious issues in getting the fires across the city under control.
"E-bike fires are becoming more prevalent in the city," said FDNY Battalion Chief Justin Zorbo. "And they are difficult to extinguish. And require numerous hazmat resources."The store was closed when the fire started, which presented a real challenge for firefighters due to the number of e-bikes. "We had a large number of e-bikes, and gasoline bikes approximately 30 were in the rear and the same number inside the store," Zorbo said. "We used all hands-on assignment on arrival with an additional engine and additional truck, we had a three-line stretch to an operation."
