NEW YORK (PIX11) – A deadly fire that killed one person and injured 18
others in Harlem on Friday afternoon was caused by a lithium-ion battery, according to a tweet by the FDNY.

“FDNY Fire Marshals have determined that Friday’s devastating fire at 2
St. Nicholas Place in Manhattan was caused by a lithium-ion battery,” the
tweet read. “The fire claimed the life of one person and injured 17
others.”

In total 12 of the 18 victims needed to be hospitalized, including five
people who were in critical condition, authorities said.

The deadly fire left dozens of residents displaced and even saw a
firefighter perform a rope rescue. The firefighter had been with the fire department for less than a year, FDNY officials said.

Lithium-ion batteries are now a leading cause of fires and fire deaths in
New York City, according to fire officials.
