电动自行车电池在客厅爆炸烧毁俄勒冈住宅：6人逃生、一只猫死亡，起火瞬间视频疯传
11月5日晚，美国俄勒冈州摩特诺玛县Troutdale市东哥伦比亚河历史公路旁一栋两层住宅起火。据KPTV、KATU与KOIN等当地电视台报道，起火源是客厅里一块电动自行车锂电池，电池爆炸后火势在几分钟内吞没整栋房子，屋内6人全部逃出、无人受伤，住户的一只猫死亡。屋主发布的家中监控与手机视频随后在社交平台扩散，画面里电池先冒烟、爆响，随后火光充满客厅。
这块电池属于15岁的Preston Williams，电动自行车是母亲Kari Ann Peniche送他的圣诞礼物。他对KPTV说，自己当晚骑车回家后刚修好车，把电池取下、未插电放在客厅一张软垫椅上，不久闻到一股异味。他与朋友循味找到电池时，电池已经冒烟，他拿手机拍下过程，电池先爆响一次、随后在客厅中央炸开。他随即拨打911并到屋外等候救援，母亲则跑上楼叫醒住在楼上的Kelli Gasaway与她的伴侣。Gasaway形容爆炸「像一颗手榴弹在身下炸开」，等她跑出门时，楼上已经满是浓烟。
Gresham消防与救援局营长兼消防队长Shawn Durham对KATU说，调查人员认定火灾由电动自行车锂离子电池故障爆炸引起，屋内6人全部无伤逃出；事发街道没有消防栓，Corbett消防部门出动水罐车支援。关于电池当时是否在充电，各方说法不一：部分报道称电池爆炸时正在充电，屋主与Preston则明确说电池当时未插电、放在椅子上，正文按双方说法并列呈现。房子的品牌与电池制造商均未公布，也没有已发布的正式调查报告。
Peniche在Instagram发帖说，一家人失去了几乎全部家当，包括衣服、照片与多年留下的物品。她写道：「我完全不知道一块电池能在这么短的时间里造成这么大的破坏，请大家务必小心电动自行车、滑板车和一切用锂电池的东西。」据俄勒冈州消防局长办公室的统计，该州消防机构2020年至2025年共处置649起锂离子电池相关火灾，年数量从2020年的74起升到2025年的161起。
E-Bike Battery Explodes in Living Room and Destroys Oregon Home: Six Escape, a Cat Dies, and the Moment Spreads Online
On the night of November 5, a two-story home on East Historic Columbia River Highway in Troutdale, Multnomah County, Oregon, caught fire. According to local stations KPTV, KATU and KOIN, the fire began with a lithium-ion e-bike battery in the living room; after the battery exploded, flames engulfed the house within minutes. All six people inside escaped without injury, and a resident's cat died. Security-camera and phone video the homeowner posted later spread across social media, showing the battery smoking, popping and then filling the living room with flame.
The battery belonged to 15-year-old Preston Williams, whose mother, Kari Ann Peniche, had given him the e-bike as a Christmas gift. He told KPTV that after riding home that night he had just fixed the bike and left the battery unplugged on a padded chair in the living room, then noticed a strange smell. He and a friend traced the smell to the smoking battery; Williams filmed it as it popped once and then blew up in the middle of the room. He called 911 and waited outside, while his mother ran upstairs to alert Kelli Gasaway and her partner, who lived upstairs. Gasaway compared the blast to "a hand grenade going off underneath you," and said the upstairs was already full of smoke by the time she got out.
Shawn Durham, battalion chief and fire marshal with Gresham Fire and Rescue, told KATU that investigators determined the fire was caused by the failure and explosion of the e-bike's lithium-ion battery, and that all six people escaped uninjured; because the street has no fire hydrants, Corbett Fire brought water tenders. Reports differ on whether the battery was charging: some coverage described it as exploding while charging, while Peniche and her son said it was unplugged and resting on a chair, and both accounts are presented here. Neither the bike's brand nor the battery's maker has been named, and no formal investigation report has been published.
In an Instagram post, Peniche said the family lost nearly everything they owned, including clothes, photographs and items built up over a lifetime. "I had absolutely no idea a battery could cause this much destruction in such a short amount of time," she wrote. "Please be careful with e-bikes, scooters and anything powered by rechargeable lithium batteries." According to the Oregon State Fire Marshal, fire agencies in the state responded to 649 lithium-ion battery-related fires from 2020 through 2025, with the yearly total rising from 74 in 2020 to 161 in 2025.
