🔥 CHEAP CHARGER? DON’T CHANCE IT. 🔌🔥
Not all chargers and electronic accessories are created equal. Cheap, damaged, counterfeit, or uncertified chargers can overheat, short-circuit, and increase the risk of fire—especially when charging lithium-ion batteries.
Protect your home, workplace, and family with a few simple habits:
✔ Use chargers designed and approved for your device
✔ Look for recognized safety certification marks
✔ Replace frayed, cracked, loose, or damaged charging cables
✔ Never charge batteries on beds, couches, or other combustible surfaces
✔ Keep charging devices away from heat and flammable materials
✔ Stop using batteries or chargers that become unusually hot, swell, smoke, or smell strange
✔ Don’t leave questionable charging equipment plugged in unattended
🔋 Small action. Big impact. Saving a few dollars on a charger isn’t worth increasing the risk of a fire.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A LITHIUM-ION BUS CATCHES FIRE?

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A LITHIUM-ION BUS CATCHES FIRE?

As cities transition to electric bus fleets, fire departments and transit authorities are facing an entirely different set of challenges.
These buses can contain battery systems many times larger than a typical EV—and questions remain about thermal runaway, fire spread, reignition, depot protection, sprinkler systems, emergency response, and more.

🎙️ In this episode of The NFPA Podcast, recorded live at the 2026 NFPA Conference & Expo®, researchers from Energy Safety Response Group discuss new research into lithium-ion buses and bus depots.

🔥 How dangerous are these fires?
🔥 Are existing bus depots adequately protected?
🔥 What should firefighters know before they arrive?
🔥 What can be done to prevent one burning bus from becoming a much larger incident?

If you work in fire protection, this is worth your time.

🔥 Charge Outside. Stay Fire Safe. 🔋🧯
Lithium-ion batteries power many of the tools and rides we use every day — from cordless power tools and lawn equipment to e-bikes and e-scooters. But damaged, overheated, or improperly charged batteries can create a serious fire risk.
Help protect your home, garage, and workplace:
✔ Use the charger designed for your battery
✔ Never charge damaged, swollen, or overheating batteries
✔ Keep batteries away from heat and combustible materials
✔ Don’t leave batteries charging unattended for long periods
✔ Follow the manufacturer’s charging and storage instructions
✔ For e-bikes, e-scooters and larger battery-powered equipment, charge outside whenever the manufacturer permits and conditions are suitable
✔ Stop using a battery immediately if you notice unusual heat, swelling, leaking, odor, smoke, or other damage
Small action. Big impact. Fire prevention starts with safe everyday habits.
