A 46-year-old social worker ended up receiving severe burn injuries after a spare vape battery caught fire inside his pocket.
Dan Vowles was finishing up a shift at work on November 1, 2020, when his pocket started to get warm.
He usually carries a spare vape battery with him to work so he could use it in case one battery loses a charge.
On this occasion, one of his spare batteries started to glow red and caught fire.
This caused horrific burn injuries on his hand and leg.
