We use battery-powered devices all the time, but how often do we think about charging them safely? This Fire Prevention Week, take a moment to review your lithium-ion battery safety habits.
Here are a few ways to charge into fire safety:
🔋 Use the charger that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer.
🔋 Never charge a device under your pillow, on your bed, or on a couch.
🔋 Stop using a battery if you notice swelling, unusual odors, excessive heat, or other signs of damage.
🔋 Charge devices on a hard, flat surface away from anything that can burn.
🔋 Unplug devices once they are fully charged, and follow the manufacturer’s charging instructions.
A few simple steps can help prevent fires and keep our community safe!

It's Fire Prevention Week! 🔥
This year’s theme, "Charge Into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower," is all about staying safe when using, charging, and storing lithium-ion batteries.
From phones and laptops to e-bikes, scooters, and other battery-powered devices, lithium-ion batteries are part of our everyday lives. But when used or charged improperly, they can create serious fire risks.
This Fire Prevention Week, we’re encouraging our community to learn more about lithium-ion battery safety and take steps to help prevent fires.
Stay tuned for safety tips to help you charge into fire safety!
