Sydney's Darlinghurst Fire and Rescue Mad Monkey Hostel in NSW reason may be an e-bike battery The reason for fire and recovery NSW remains uncertain about when an e-bicycle battery guest in the hostel will be allowed to return. Approximately 70 people were released from Mad Monkey Hostel in Potts Point on Wednesday morning due to the extinguished fire since then. Security s, standing in corridor and fire ball exploded showed his friend from door of room. It is seen that his friend then made a crazy line for the door with a fire behind the fire. He bought more than 20 firefighters and six fire trucks to extinguish Inferno. Fire and rescue NSW believes that the fire might have been fired by a rechargeable e-bicycle battery in the room. Guests in the dark Hector Farraera also stayed in hostel and saw that one of the men was trying to throw it into fire with a fire extinguisher. "I saw big noise in the corridor and went out see what happened, and then there was a Frenchman trying to get extinguishing get him out of the room."Said. Hector Farraera attempted to burn a fire from one of the French backpackers. Scottish traveler Mark Petrie was on same floor as a fire, but he said he wasn't worried at the beginning when fire alarm went. "At first you do not react this badly. But then you start smelling smoke and then you go well, this is our moment now," he said. "I took passport, the phone, and I held my laptop in my hand and walked down stairs." It remains unclear when the travelers will be allowed to return. Only Backpacker Jannes Otto said he didn't know where to stay tonight if he can't get back to his stay. "I hope the hostel is ready in a few hours and I can go back. Otherwise, this would be bad, I will have to find another place," he said. Lithium-ion battery concerns Frnsw Duty Manager Grant Rice thanked the hostel management for bringing people out safely. "We evacuated it very quickly from this property, which helped firefighters to enter and control this fire very quickly."Said. "They don't always speak English with the backpackers in that area, so management actually helped fire and rescue to keep these people out of these people, and they will be out for a while." Frnsw said he had participated in events related to 149 batteries reported in 2023. 22 percent of the 149 incidents contained my micromobility devices such as e-bikes and e-SCOOTER. The fire investigation unit works with NSW police to investigate the fire. Mr. Rice said it was a reminder that people carefully charge lithium ion batteries carefully and did not harm it.
