Florida’s public safety official has issued a warning about heightened fire risks from electric scooters and vehicles as Hurricane Isais approaches, urging residents to secure or remove these devices to prevent potential hazards during high winds and flooding. Authorities emphasize that abandoned or improperly stored electric scooters and EVs could become projectiles or ignite fires in storm conditions, posing dangers to both property and emergency responders. The advisory follows concerns over similar incidents during past storms, where such devices contributed to fires or blocked evacuation routes. Residents are advised to take precautions to minimize risks as the storm system moves closer.
