Fire crews sent to Apple Store over 'smoking battery'
William GallagherApple Braehead
Apple Braehead in Scotland, and the surrounding shopping center, were evacuated as fire crews attended an incident with a "smoking battery."
The Apple Store is in Glasgow at the Braehead Shopping Center, where the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) was called to the scene at 4.22 pm local time on February 8, 2022.
According to Glasgow Times, four fire engines were sent. It's a standard response to a possible fire at a large shopping center, but ultimately the issue was contained quickly.
Reportedly, alarms had been set off by a smoking battery. Fire crews used a sand bucket to extinguish the device.
It's not know what battery it was, or how the incident occurred.
