The power bank was not plugged in, charging, or in use. Within moments, our truck became engulfed in flames and was declared a total loss. The incident also ignited a roadside brush fire, requiring multiple emergency response units, including a Wildfire Unit. We lost our vehicle, personal belongings, and experienced significant emotional trauma. We are extremely fortunate that our family escaped safely and survived this catastrophic product failure.
