The symposium, slated to begin tomorrow, will be held less than a week after a 34-year-old Bronx man was killed when a charging lithium-ion moped battery set his kitchen on fire. During the event, stakeholders will focus on the science behind how lithium-ion fires begin, proven tactics on how best to battle these blazes and how the federal government can help with more research.
