Vape Fire on Virgin Australia Flight, Stricter Rules Implemented

0:00Welcome to Sydney News Today, two minutes of news that mattered to Sydney. A vape caught fire on a virgin Australia flight heading from Brisbane to Melbourne on Sunday afternoon. The crew issued a pan call, signaling an urgent but not life-threatening issue, and landed safely at Melbourne Airport. Emergency services stood ready as a precaution after the airport got word of the ignited device. Firefighters trailed the plane on the runway and removed the vape right away. The airline praised the crew for quickly containing the situation and stressed that guest and team safety comes first. These devices rely on lithium-ion batteries, which can overheat, catch fire, or even explode if damaged, overcharged, or exposed to extreme temperatures. In response to growing fire risks, virgin Australia and quantus both rode out stricter rules on power banks late last year following an earlier onboard incident.
