π₯ Fire Safety Week 2026 starts today! π₯
Todayβs topic: Safe Charging. π
Rechargeable batteries are everywhere these days β from our phones and laptops to e-bikes, scooters, and power tools. A few simple habits can help prevent a battery from becoming a fire hazard:
β
Use the right charger. Always use the manufacturerβs cord and power adapter designed for your device.
β
Charge on a hard, flat surface. Never charge devices under a pillow, on a bed, or on a couch where heat can build up.
β
Unplug when fully charged. Donβt leave devices charging longer than necessary.
A little extra attention while charging can go a long way toward keeping your home, family, and community safe. π₯
Stay safe and charge smart!
