Fire Prevention Week

This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme, “Charge Into Fire Safety,” focuses on staying safe when using battery-powered devices — a timely reminder in today’s technology-driven world. From phones and laptops to power tools, lithium-ion batteries are part of our daily lives. However, when they are damaged, used improperly, or charged incorrectly, they can pose serious fire risks. It encourages everyone to take proactive steps to prevent fires and protect their homes, families, and workplaces. This year’s campaign highlights the importance of understanding how to safely use, charge, and store devices powered by lithium-ion batteries.
