Title: Another Hoverboard fire.
Post by Saul Goodman on Jan 5th, 2016 at 12:15pm
I am amazed people are still buying these things


A  'hoverboard' charger bought over the internet as a Christmas gift has caught fire, destroying a home in Melbourne's northern suburbs.

Energy Safe Victoria said the charger failed to meet electrical-safety standards.

Sparks from the products caused a fire at a house in Strathmore on Monday night.

Neil Fraser, the safety authority's executive manager of electrical installations, licensing and equipment safety, said the charger did not meet safety standards.

Hampering efforts investigate the fire, the 'hoverboards' and chargers do not have any brand name attached.

This could be the spark that ignites the Australian economy. A building boom caused by hoverboard house fires.
