Charge Into Fire Safety!
This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme is “Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower.”
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries power many of the devices we use every day—from phones and laptops to tools, toys, e-bikes, and scooters. When damaged or charged improperly, they can overheat, catch fire, or even explode.
Be a charging superhero:
- Use the right charger: Use the cord and charger that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer.
- Charge on a hard surface: Keep devices on a table or desk—not beds, couches, or under pillows, where heat can get trapped.
- Know the warning signs: Stop using a device if it becomes very hot, swells, smokes, or develops an unusual smell.
- Unplug when fully charged: Don’t leave devices plugged in longer than necessary.
- Charge larger batteries safely: E-bikes, scooters, and power tools should be charged outside and away from exits.
- Travel smart: On airplanes, keep devices visible while charging. Never charge them in overhead bins, and never charge e-cigarettes or vapes on a plane.
Small charging habits can make a big difference in preventing home fires.
Come see your local firefighters, learn lifesaving skills, enjoy some chili, and charge into fire safety with us!
We’ll see you October 4!
