Fire Prevention Week Open House
October 11 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join us at Central Pierce Fire & Rescue on Saturday, October 11th, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our Fire Prevention Week Open House! This year’s theme, “Charge into Fire Safety,” focuses on keeping our community safe by learning how to properly use lithium-ion batteries—found in phones, e-bikes, laptops, and more.
Why It Matters:
Lithium-ion batteries are powerful but can pose serious fire risks if damaged, overcharged, or misused. Fires caused by these batteries can spread quickly and be difficult to extinguish.
Stay Safe by Remembering to:
- Use manufacturer-approved chargers
- Charge batteries on a hard, nonflammable surface
- Use UL or ETL-listed devices
- Never leave devices charging unattended
At the Open House:
- Hands-on activities for kids
- A short safety presentation for adults
- Speak to our community partners
- A chance to tour an engine and meet your local fire crew
