Long story short it says that a Swiss MTB rider parked his
MTB in grass after a downhill ride. Then ... phut ... smoke
and flames. He and two other guys were unable to put out the
fast-spreading fire. Two helicopters over 100 fire fighters
were required to get this under control.


When an e-bike battery blows up and immolates Cameron Park, THAT will be

This one in 2017 was caused by a failing E-bike battery. Kept 70 fire
fighters and 30 fire trucks busy:
