Grandma, 76, killed when e-bike battery explodes like ‘blowtorch' inside NYC pizzeria on Fourth of July: FDNY
A 76-year-old grandmother was killed when an e-bike battery exploded like a 'blowtorch' inside a Queens pizzeria on the Fourth of July – trapping her as she tried to leave the bathroom, the FDNY said. Yuet Kiu Cheung, 76, was consumed by the flames when the device erupted inside Singas Famous Pizzeria on Kissena Boulevard near Cherry Avenue in Flushing around 3 p.m. on the holiday – marking the city's first deadly fire attributed to lithium-ion batteries this year, officials said Tuesday. 'These things take off very, very quickly with a blowtorch effect,' Chief Fire Marshal Daniel Flynn told reporters. 'This woman was in the bathroom. She went to the bathroom for one minute. She was trapped. She could not get out of the bathroom because the device was stored directly outside the bathroom.' 5 Yuet Kiu Cheung, 76, was killed in the July 4 blaze at Singas Famous Pizzeria in Flushing, officials said. FDNY Cheung — who was shopping with a friend when they decided to stop at the pizzeria — heard 'three explosions' and smelled a strange odor as she used the bathroom, her grief-stricken son Tommy Ou Yang told The Daily News. 'It was a weird smell and all of a sudden the black smoke comes out,' he said. Cheung had to pass the explosive flames on her way out of the restroom toward the exit – but couldn't get there quite fast enough, according to FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker. 5 The fire was sparked by an exploding lithium-ion battery, fire officials said. Matthew Kushnick 'For me to find my mom burnt like a roast pig, almost 100 percent of her whole body, is a memory I cannot forget,' Yang told the News. The senior was rushed to a local hospital, where she succumbed to her extensive injuries the next day, the commissioner said. 'She's a very loving parent, a loving grandmother,' her son said. 'All her grandchildren, they all miss her.' 5 The deadly blaze marked the first time this year someone was killed in a fire sparked by an exploding lithium-ion battery. Brigitte Stelzer 'The neighborhood, everybody loves her,' he added. 'She's always very friendly with everybody, tries to help everyone.' The four other people inside the pizzeria at the time of the blaze managed to escape, officials said. The fire left the eatery in shambles, and the charred bike remained at the scene Tuesday. 'These fires are treacherous,' Tucker said. 'They move very quickly. They are very hot. And you know, you don't have many feet to move before you're overtaken by the fumes and the smoke and the flames.' 5 Six fatal fires were caused by exploding lithium-ion batteries last year, FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker said. FDNY/Youtube In total last year, six fatal fires were caused by exploding lithium-ion batteries, and more than 20 in 2023, Tucker said. 'One is too many, and I will not stop talking about safety around lithium-ion batteries and e-mobility devices until the number is zero,' the commissioner said. 5 Chief Fire Marshal Daniel Flynn urged users of the devices to never store them in their homes or businesses. FDNY/Youtube Meanwhile, Flynn urged users of the devices never to store them inside a home or business, or near an entrance or exit. 'It's a tremendous tragedy, and the problem persists here,' the fire marshal added. 'This is has not gone away.'

Kildare put four past Sligo to clinch place in Tailteann Cup quarter-finals
Tailteann Cup results Kildare 4-19 Sligo 1-24 Leitrim 3-9 Tipperary 0-10 Antrim 1-22 London 0-14 Fermanagh 0-25 Wexford 1-17 Carlow 1-15 Longford 1-20 FOUR-STAR KILDARE held off a late Sligo revival to clinch top spot in Group 1 and book their place in the Tailteann Cup quarter-finals. Goals from Daniel Flynn (2), James McGrath and Alex Beirne had the Lilywhites leading by 11 points inside the final quarter at Dr Hyde Park. Advertisement But a string of two-pointers saw Sligo reel Kildare in and cut the gap to just four points before they ran out of time. Tony McEntee's side finish as group runners-up and go into the draw for the preliminary quarter-finals, which takes place on Sunday evening at 6.15pm. In Group 1′s other game, 1-1 apiece from Jack Flynn and Tom Prior helped Leitrim to a 3-9 to 0-10 win over Tipperary, but it wasn't enough to extend their summer as they finish with the worst record of the third-placed teams. In Group 3, Antrim booked their place in the preliminary quarter-finals with a 1-22 to 0-14 win over London in Newry, substitute Niall Burns scoring the game's only goal late on. Fermanagh are straight through to the last eight as Group 4 winners thanks to a 0-25 to 1-17 victory against Wexford in Sunday's curtain-raiser at Croke Park, Conor Love starring with an individual 0-9, eight from play.

Tailteann Cup: Kildare and Fermanagh join Limerick and Wicklow in quarter-finals
Kildare may have secured the home quarter-final that they wanted in the Tailteann Cup on Sunday afternoon, but Sligo's late rally at Dr Hyde Park highlighted some of the vulnerabilities of the competition favourites. It finished 4-19 to 1-24 in favour of Brian Flanagan's side, with Daniel Flynn once again proving his value as he hit 2-3, following up from his tally of 2-4 against Tipperary last time out. Playing with a strong breeze at their backs, Kildare responded to Cian Lally's early goal for Sligo by hitting three of their own in the first 15 minutes. Flynn hit the first, toe-poking in a rebound after Aidan Devaney saved his initial effort, then James McGrath powered forward to find the bottom corner of the net and Alex Beirne added a third. But a pair of two-pointers was a poor return on a day when kickouts from the town end were easily covering 80 metres of ground if needed. A half-time score of 3-11 to 1-7 was not an insurmountable lead, though it looked a lot more convincing when Flynn added his second goal and Kildare led by 15 points with 50 minutes played. READ MORE Eventually Sligo found their shooting boots. Niall Murphy was unmarkable close to goal, shooting 0-10 in total from nine kicks, while Pat Spillane came off the bench to shoot two doubles. The lead briefly went down to two points (4-17 to 1-24) but Lee Deignan and Alan McLoughlin both missed the target from distance, Cian Lally turned down another scorable effort from range, and Mark Dempsey made a crucial fingertip save to prevent Murphy from playing in O'Connor with just the goalkeeper to beat, all in the last five minutes. In Group 1's other game, Leitrim won their first game of 2025 against Tipperary in Mullingar, but as the last-ranked third place team, their season still came to an end. In a low-scoring first half, Cian Smith's two-pointer was the only score in the opening 15 minutes, and goals from Jack Flynn and Tom Prior pushed Leitrim 2-2 to 0-3 ahead at half-time. Joe McGloin settled the game when his goal put nine points between the sides after 56 minutes. Leitrim didn't manage another score for 12 minutes, but still saw out the game 3-9 to 0-10. That result meant Antrim needed to beat London by at least eight points to keep their season alive, and they did that in Newry, running out 1-22 to 0-14 winners. London actually led 0-14 to 0-13 going into the final quarter, but Antrim came with a wet sail as Niall Burns (1-1), Dominic McEnhill (0-6) and Ryan McQuillan (0-4) scored well. Longford were the only team already eliminated going into Sunday's games, but despite that they turned out in style against Carlow in Tullamore, shooting seven first-half two-pointers to go with Oran Kenny's goal. Matthew Carey racked up 0-15 in total, including five of those first-half doubles, in a 1-20 to 1-15 win that pushed Carlow into third spot in the group. Fermanagh confirmed their passage through to the last eight in Croke Park where they outscored Wexford 0-9 to 0-4 in the final quarter. Seán Nolan's goal had Wexford in front by five with 30 minutes played, but Fermanagh grew into the game with Conor Love (0-9) leading their attack. Fermanagh now join Kildare, Limerick and Wicklow in the quarter-finals as group winners. In the preliminary quarter-finals next weekend, the home teams will be Sligo, Wexford, Offaly and Westmeath. They will be drawn to face Carlow, Antrim, Laois and New York on Sunday evening. Weekend Tailteann Cup results Group 1: Leitrim 3-9 Tipperary 0-10; Kildare 4-19 Sligo 1-24 Group 2: Offaly 3-16 Laois 3-18; Wicklow 3-29 Waterford 0-21 Group 3: Westmeath 0-18 Limerick 0-19; Antrim 1-22 London 1-14 Group 4: Carlow 1-15 Longford 1-20; Fermanagh 0-25 Wexford 1-17

Tailteann Cup round-up: Kildare and Sligo continue winning form in Group One
Kildare made it back-to-back wins in Group One of the Tailteann Cup with a 3-19 to 1-11 victory over Tipperary in Clonmel. Daniel Flynn and Alex Beirne were to the fore for Brian Flanagan's charges with Flynn registering 2-4 and Beirne hitting 1-5. Only three points divided the sides at the break, but Kildare pulled away as the second half progressed. In the same group, Sligo came from seven points down to see off Leitrim at Páirc Seán MacDiarmada. READ MORE A Barry McNulty goal had Leitrim leading 1-12 to 0-8 in the second half, but Sligo rallied and goals from Darragh Cummins and Jack Lavin saw the Yeatsmen nab the win. Offaly made it two wins from two in Group Two, the Faithful having five points to spare over Waterford in Walsh Park. Despite a Dylan Guiry goal for the Déise, it was Offaly who held a three-point lead at half time, 0-8 to 1-2. The key score of the second half arrived from Cathal Flynn, who crashed the ball to the net as Offaly eventually finished up five-point winners, 1-18 to 1-13. Also in Group Two, Wicklow secured their opening win of the campaign with a five-point victory over Laois in Aughrim. Laois played with the advantage of the breeze in the first half and went in at the interval with a two-point lead, 0-10 to 0-8. However, the home side had the better of the exchanges after the break and with Dean Healy, Mark Jackman and Eoin Darcy among the scorers they ran out 0-21 to 0-16 victors. In Group Three, Limerick continued their winning ways with an eight-point win over Antrim at Corrigan Park. The Shannonsiders led 0-8 to 0-5 at half time before extending their advantage when Iain Corbett converted a penalty. Patrick McBride bagged a late goal for Antim but it proved just a consolation score as Limerick claimed a 1-18 to 1-10 win. Westmeath also recorded a second win as they proved too strong for London in their Group Three meeting in Ruislip. London had started the brighter and a Ciaran Diver goal had given them an early advantage, but by the interval Westmeath led by two, with Luke Loughlin among the scorers. Loughlin and Sam McCartan kept the scoreboard ticking over for the Lake County in the second half as they recorded a 0-26 to 1-10 win. Carlow and Wexford remain unbeaten in Group Four following their draw in Cullen Park on Sunday. Wexford appeared to be on their way to the win as they led by four points in added time. However, a point from John Phiri narrowed the gap to three before a foul on Ross Dunphy saw the home side awarded a penalty, which was dispatched by Conor Doyle to leave it 2-16 to 1-19 at the finish. In the same group, Fermanagh bounced back from their defeat to Carlow with an emphatic 2-19 to 0-7 win over Longford at Pearse Park. The Ernemen dominated matters from the outset to lead by five at half time, 0-9 to 0-4. And they continued to dictate the play on the resumption as goals from Conor Love and Aogan Kelm saw them cruise to victory. Tailteann Cup Round One results Group One: Tipperary 1-11 Kildare 3-19; Leitrim 1-18 Sligo 2-19 Group Two: Waterford 1-13 Offaly 1-18; Wicklow 0-21 Laois 0-16 Group Three: Antrim 1-10 Limerick 1-18; London 1-3 Westmeath 0-8 Group Four: Carlow 2-16 Wexford 1-19; Longford 0-7 Fermanagh 2-19
