In the early morning of June 13, 2024, a serious fire broke out in a residential building in Tucheng District, New Taipei City, resulting in the deaths of the homeowner's wife, son, and daughter's boyfriend. The fire was suspected to have been caused by a lithium ion battery from a gardening hedge trimmer. When the male homeowner attempted to put out the fire with water, it triggered an explosion.
