• Dog killed in Pasco house fire caused by lithium-ion battery: PCFR (tampabay28.com) — A devastating house fire on Grouper Lane in New Port Richey destroyed a home and killed a family dog, with four adults and two children now displaced and receiving Red Cross help. Investigators say a recently purchased aftermarket e‑bike lithium-ion battery overheated and vented flames, prompting fire officials to urge residents to use only manufacturer-approved batteries and avoid off-brand replacements.
