ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A Chromebook laptop went up in smoke at a Rochester charter school on Wednesday afternoon, amid a TikTok trend that’s left school officials concerned.
During the challenge, called “The Chromebook”, students try to set their laptops on fire by sticking thin metal objects in the USB ports. The Rochester Fire Department is still investigating and couldn’t comment on whether the laptop started smoking because of this challenge.
Firefighters responded to Exploration Charter School on Lake Avenue around 3:30 p.m. A hazmat crew responded because the device had a lithium battery. One person was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation.
Earlier, the Spencerport Central School District sent out a message saying that students have tried the challenge and will be punished.
