Ottawa firefighters responded to a call to a home on Pinson Private Thursday morning to find a hoverboard ride-on toy had become engulfed in flames.

The call was made around 9 a.m. from a residence in a complex near Hunt Club Road and Uplands Drive.

While fire officials have not confirmed the type of “electronic toy” that caught fire, callers reported it was a hoverboard.

Hoverboards, or balancing scooters, are battery operated ride-on toys with toy wheels. They require a person to balance themselves as the device zips around.

There were more than 100 reported incidents of hoverboards with lithium-ion power packs catching fire in the U.S. in 2016 and more than 500,000 units in North America were recalled as recently as November 2017.

It was not clear how old the board on Pinson Private board was.

There were no injuries.
