When charging on a plane, keep portable charging devices on the tray table. Do not charge devices in overhead compartments and never charge e-cigarettes or vapes on a plane. If a battery overheats or fails, it is important for the flight crew to be able to respond quickly. For more info: fpw.org.

Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools
outside when possible. Do not block exits when charging. These
batteries store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they
fail. For more info: fpw.org.

Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is
warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape or
color, or if you see smoke. If it is safe, move the device away
from anything that can catch fire. A damaged battery can
overheat and start a fire. For more info: fpw.org.

Week 7 has come to an end. It was a very successful and productive week for the recruits. All 39 participants passed Structural Fire Control as we were able to host and teach it to 3 different departments. We covered First Aid, Drafting Skills, Vehicle Fire with our recruits and then ended the week with their PAT evaluation (in full gear breathing air). This recruit class was also the first recruit class to successfully complete Henry County's Maze.

We are looking forward to finishing FF1 on Thursday and beginning FF2 Lecture on Friday.

Handling Flammable and Combustible Liquids: 10/21 & 10/22
Extrication Day: 10/27
