Investigators have ruled out arson in a moped fire that totaled two cars in San Francisco.
“Conclusively, I would say with confidence this is not an arson fire,” said Jonathan Baxter, San Francisco Fire Department spokesperson.“With the introduction of the lithium ion battery and all the hazards associated with them, we are not immune to seeing these fires,” said Baxter.
Baxter said that with no eyewitnesses or surveillance video, we may never know what caused the scooter to catch fire as all the potential evidence-incinerated. As for the other car that burned that night, it’s also totaled. Brian Nieh was about to go pick up his child at day care. “I wanted to get this picture because it shows the tires have melted,” said Nieh. “I was approaching my car and the hood was like in a weird position like I thought someone was under my hood trying to jack something … But when I approached it it was much worse. It looked like a war zone picture.”
Revel says it has 500 electric scooters in San Francisco which have provided half a million rides and nothing like this. It also says the help for Dleharty and Nieh is up to its insurance carrier.
