Barmaid escapes serious injury in E-cigarette explosion

A barmaid has narrowly escaped being seriously hurt after an electronic cigarette blew up and flew across the pub she was working in.

The cigarette was being charged using an incompatible charger when it set alight and shot several feet to where Laura Baty was serving customers on Saturday night at Richmond in North Yorkshire.

The fire service is warning of the dangers of using the wrong chargers, as Michael Billington reports.
