Victorian fire authorities say they're responding to almost one lithium-ion battery fire every day.
Commander Eckholdt said lithium-ion batteries were a growing concern for fire services, who are responding to almost one fire per day caused by lithium-ion batteries.
"What we are finding is that a lot of people are charging devices while they're asleep — phones, computers, scooters, that type of thing," he said.

There is a difference between lithium ION and lithium IRON but this seems to get lost in most media crap.
