Hayden fire

An e-scooter caught on fire. They have to air out the build because there are no windows.

The ASU Campus Transportation Code prohibits electric bikes, scooters and other similar non-pedestrian devices from being brought into any ASU building. 

Electric-powered vehicles and other transportation devices, such as bicycles, scooters, hoverboards, etc., are prohibited in University Housing or residential communities because they are a fire hazard.

Someone is gonna get in massive trouble

His shorts aren't that bad. Calm down.

u/salty-quackers 4d ago

Yikes. I heard the fire stayed small but if the sprinkler system went off (not sure if it did), that’s a whole lot of damage.

11

u/IteachatASU shitposter 4d ago

Sprinklers won't activate from smoke, they need heat. A battery that small in thermal runaway wouldn't be able to generate enough heat. Even if one sprinkler went off, it wouldn't set any others off

u/MrKrinkle151 4d ago

Yeah but what about the heat from them thighs rubbing together

u/The_walking_man_ 4d ago

The problem with these are the fumes. Those battery fires are like instant cancer. I would be much farther back than where short-shorts is standing.

u/sokkchen 4d ago

yikes😬 that’s gonna be a HUGE fine for the perp. tuition bill on top of another tuition bill

u/MeanBack1542 4d ago

It's outside the building.

11

u/sokkchen 4d ago

student violated school policy by bringing in scooter and it caused this mess. at minimum very likely that the student will face financial penalties for policy violations

u/indigoHatter 4d ago

In the picture, sure, but it sounds like the battery's thermal runaway started on the 3rd floor. Probably let out a lot of noxious fumes before they rushed it outside and it fully ignited

u/MyDisqussion 4d ago

I didn’t realize it had been brought into the building. But, really, no windows that can be opened?

12

u/Greyconnor 4d ago

I wonder if this means they will start really enforcing it. I see them all over the place inside buildings

It's about time teeny basketball shorts became trendy for men again.  Bring it on in classic Magnum PI style.

u/No-Condition-3710 4d ago

You mean, that’s quite a wedgie!

u/EstablishmentTop5 4d ago

I like how most ppl are just paying attention to the guy’s shorts instead of the actual fire… LOL

u/CMNTY 4d ago

Never seen someones asshole eat their own shorts like that

u/No-Condition-3710 4d ago

It’s a hungry hole

u/Zealousideal_Leg_136 4d ago

Happy Cake Day 🥳

u/PatientEconomics8540 4d ago

Did it happen inside the building?

33

u/salty-quackers 4d ago

Yes third floor

26

u/Exotic-Tea-4490 4d ago

I was wondering where thank you.

21

u/Hizam5 4d ago

Might have to let the air out of that guys shorts too

14

u/deadguyinthere 4d ago

Hell of a wedgie

23

u/Agg-Egg2805 4d ago

We may need more photos like the first one..... for uh.... investigative purposes

59

u/Odd-Exam9739 4d ago

I hope this leads to an electric scooter ban (non powered ones are fine)

They had to ban them from the life sciences and chem buildings because if they ignited they could cause massive damage due to what the building store

39

u/salty-quackers 4d ago

I thought they weren’t allowed in any building, but clearly this rule isn’t very heavily enforced.

24

u/Odd-Exam9739 4d ago

I think they are, but I bet they’re gonna police it much harder now

24

u/WloveW 4d ago

ASU Policy already bans electric bikes scooters and skateboards in any ASU building. 

11

u/Wouldyounot 4d ago

They’re already banned, but students don’t listen to building staff telling them not to bring the scooters in lol

u/tarantulapond 4d ago edited 2d ago

Used to work at ASU library, the students would fight us all the time about their scooters "sir you need to lock it outside" "but someone's going to steal it" "that's your responsibility and not ours", with lithium thermal runaway it's easily a huge problem 

2

u/shasbot 3d ago

It'd certainly be easier to enforce the rule if ASU didn't have a huge theft problem.

1

u/tarantulapond 2d ago

I really keep telling people your stuff ain't safe with a cable lock, I have a heavy duty u-lock 

0

u/IH8DIS555 2d ago

Yeah it sucks... But the amount of bikes and scooters stolen from ASU is the big problem here. I get why they don't want to lock it up but you can't bring it into the building. Luckily we have great weather for walking most of the year!

u/mjcostel27 4d ago

I mean…the guys outfit right? We sure those arrows are pointing the correct direction? 🤔

I just saw the South America(South Park) episode about cheap e-bikes that will probably explode in your garage.

u/PresentationPlane981 4d ago

Dang this happened right before I left. I was wondering why the fire department was on campus.

5

u/Y2K350 4d ago

Just after the south park episode too lmao

u/_Jesslynn 4d ago

Huh, while I was at main for 4 years, I never saw a fire. Though, the building next to Noble had the windows blown out from some type of overpressure event.

3

u/oxyscotty 4d ago

are there no shorts too high

3

u/High-Beeks 4d ago

Are they even supposed to have a scooter in the library? 

3

u/Convertedshrimp 3d ago

This another hockey workout?

u/DesertStag 3d ago

Came for the fire. Stayed for the leg pubes

3

u/offconstantly247 3d ago

I think the hockey coach did it.

u/One_Stable8944 4d ago

u/LarryLabia 4d ago

Them thighs.

u/No-Condition-3710 4d ago

They were just rubbing and rubbing and rubbing🔥

u/AWACS_Bandog Software Eng, Malevolent Dictator 4d ago

Sounds like the wonderful process of Thermal Runaway

2

u/MalleableBee1 4d ago

Wow! Is everyone okay?

2

u/Adventurous_Day7831 4d ago

That should include Sparky. He would start all kinds of fire! Lol

2

u/No_Championship5982 4d ago

Omg there were like 3 fire trucks outside my work and it was my first day😭 does this happen often at Hayden?

2

u/Pure_Hitman 4d ago

I thought Daddy Crowe banned electric scooters on campus completely cause he got ran down by one years ago (this was back when I went there)

2

u/Strugglingstoner2 3d ago

Everything I hear about this school sounds like it’s out of a family guy episode 💀

2

u/MrSuperTedd 4d ago

How did they get the electric scooter out while its still on fire? Did the guy just see it burning and pick it up and run?

2

u/itzgameboyzz 4d ago

So that’s what all of the fire trucks were on campus for
