Be aware of products with lithium-ion batteries! We are so grateful for 🧑‍🚒 s and that they saved the 🐕!

Katherine Dines: 😮 Thank-you Ottawa fire fighters!

They saved the dog, quickly extinguished flames & issued this ‼️

Safety Reminder:

“Lithium-ion batteries can pose a serious fire risk if they are damaged, punctured, crushed, or improperly handled. Residents are reminded to store items containing lithium-ion batteries safely, keep them out of reach of pets and children, and immediately stop using and properly dispose of any battery or device that shows signs of damage, swelling, overheating, or malfunction.”

Video from a security camera confirms the family dog had chewed a skiing glove equipped with a lithium-ion battery used for heating.

That damaged the battery which ignited, causing the fire.

What an interesting case. What are your thoughts? 🧸

Alberta boy, 9, sues 11-year-old for injuring his finger with a toy dinosaur at daycare

🇨🇦 Published Jan, 09, 2026 🇨🇦
=========================
A Grande Prairie court recently handled a rare case. A nine-year-old suing an 11-year-old over a daycare injury.

The incident occurred on Aug. 9, 2022, at a now-closed daycare, when the older child accidentally hit the younger one with a toy dinosaur about the size of a 500 ml water bottle. This caused a serious dislocation fracture to the younger child’s ring finger, requiring surgery to prevent permanent loss. No hospital or doctor records were presented in court.

Each child had a litigation representative, but the case was formally child versus child. The judge found no evidence of negligence or bad parenting. The injury was ruled an accident during typical child play, with no intentional assault or liability.

The plaintiff’s claim was dismissed, no costs were ordered, and the younger child’s finger has since healed.
