Wesley Harzog of Horry County, South Carolina went out to pick up his daughters leaving his Galaxy Note 7 plugged in his garage at home. When they returned, they found the home to be in flames with firefighters already on the scene.
Everybody was here, and they were actually at the front door about ready to go inside and make the initial fire attack. Somebody told me that there was a fire in the garage. You know, you just don’t really ever think it will happen to you. – Wesley Harzog.
Hartzog told WMBF News,
“They asked me if I had anything plugged in in the garage. My cell phone, which was the new Note 7, was plugged in in the garage. I also had an air compressor plugged into the same outlet, but the compressor wasn’t on.”
As of this writing, the fire is still under investigation. But the Horry Country Fire Marshall said that the fire seemed to have started at or near where the Galaxy Note 7 was located.
This is the second report of a fire possibly involving a Note 7 in the United States.
Do yourself a favor: if you still own a Galaxy Note 7, call or go to your nearest Samsung Galaxy Note 7 rep and get a new one.
