FIRE PREVENTION WEEK 2026

Safe Charging Is a Superpower! ⚡

Fire Prevention Week is October 4–10, 2026.
This year’s theme, “Charge Into Fire Safety. Safe Charging Is a Superpower,” focuses on something most of us do every day: charging our phones, tablets, laptops, e-bikes, scooters and other devices.
Lithium-ion batteries are a part of our everyday lives, but improper charging or damaged batteries can create serious fire risks.
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to speak with their children about lithium-ion batteries and how to charge their devices safely. A few simple habits can help keep your family safe:
⚡ Use the charger designed for your device
⚡ Follow the manufacturer’s charging instructions
⚡ Charge devices on a hard, flat surface where heat can escape
⚡ Keep charging devices away from beds, couches and other combustible materials
⚡ Don’t use batteries or chargers that are damaged or showing signs of overheating
⚡ Unplug devices when they are fully charged, when recommended by the manufacturer
⚡ Never ignore a battery that is swelling, leaking, smoking or getting unusually hot
Plug in. Power up. Stay safe.

Fire prevention starts with all of us.

Digby Fire Department is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mark Long, founder of Cracked Armour.
Mark dedicated so much of his life to raising awareness around PTSD, mental health and the struggles faced by first responders. Through Cracked Armour and his work toward the Returning Warriors Ranch, Mark worked tirelessly to remind first responders that they are not alone and that there is support and hope.
His work touched many within the first responder community, including members of the fire service, and his efforts to break the stigma surrounding mental health will not be forgotten.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Mark’s family, friends and all those who knew and worked alongside him during this difficult time.
Rest easy, Mark. Your work made a difference, and your legacy will continue.

It is with broken hearts, that we regretfully inform you all that our founder and best friend, Mark Long, passed away yesterday from a sudden medical condition. We know he has touched more lives than anyone will ever know, and will be missed by many. Please continue to support each other, lean on your peers. That’s how Mark thought we all needed to heal. ❤️

🚒A HUGE THANK YOU TO WAYLON MOSHER & DIGBY MARINE! 🏌️‍♂️

Digby Fire is incredibly grateful to local businessman and longtime supporter of our department, Waylon Mosher, for organizing the very first annual Digby Marine Charity Golf Classic at the beautiful Digby Pines.
What started as an idea to bring people together for a great cause has turned into an incredible contribution to our local fire service. Today, Waylon presented Digby Fire Chief Rob Morgan with a cheque for an amazing $31,503.82! 👏
We want to sincerely thank Waylon for all the time, effort and dedication he put into getting this tournament off the ground, as well as everyone who helped organize, sponsor and participate in the event. A special thank you also goes to the Digby Pines for helping make this two-day tournament possible.
And we’re very proud to announce that 100% of these funds will be donated to the Digby Municipal Fire Service Training Facility, where they will help support training opportunities for all 11 municipal fire departments.
This is a tremendous investment in firefighter training and, ultimately, in the safety of our communities.
With this donation, along with the three shipping containers previously donated by Digby Fire, Digby Fire has now contributed more than $60,000 toward the development of this training facility.
We truly believe that when our firefighters have better opportunities to train together, our entire community benefits.
Waylon, thank you for believing in our fire service, supporting our members and taking the initiative to make this happen. We look forward to seeing the Digby Marine Charity Golf Classic continue to grow for years to come!
From all of us at Digby Fire — thank you! 🚒❤️
