JANE LEW, W.Va. – An attempt to charge lithium batteries in a Jane Lew home resulted in a fire that caused $10,000 in damage Friday.
Investigators believe the wiring in the Old Mill Road home could not handle the load or an improper charging device was being used. Damage was confined to one room in the home and no injuries were reported.
Firefighters from Jackson’s Mill, West Milford, Jane Lew and Nutter Fort responded along with Harrison County EMS.
