Your charging habits matter.

This , we’re focusing on this year’s theme: “Charge into Fire Safety™: Safe Charging Is a Superpower.”

Lithium-ion batteries power many devices we use every day, including cell phones, laptops, tablets, e-bikes, e-scooters, and power tools. When these batteries are damaged, improperly charged, or incorrectly disposed of, they can pose a fire risk.

Simple habits can help reduce that risk: use the charger that came with your device or one recommended by the manufacturer, charge devices on a hard, flat surface, unplug once fully charged, and watch for signs of battery damage like swelling or overheating.

Check out these lithium-ion battery safety tips:

Fire prevention extends outdoors.
Outdoor fires can spread quickly, especially in dry conditions. Before heading outside:

- Check local fire bans
- Choose a safe area away from dry grass or bush for a campfire
- Make sure campfires are fully extinguished before leaving
- Never discard cigarette butts on the ground

A few careful choices can help reduce wildfire risks and protect lives, homes and communities.

A major earthquake could leave your household without power, running water, or access to stores for days, even weeks.

An emergency kit can help you stay safe and self-sufficient while essential services are restored.

Your kit should include enough water, non-perishable food, and other essentials for everyone in your household for at least two weeks. Don't forget items like a first aid kit, flashlight, batteries, and copies of important documents.

🌲 On National Tree Day, we celebrate the many roles trees play in our communities and remind ourselves that careful site selection and maintenance are an integral part of life in an area prone to wildfires.

In the Extended Zone (10 to 30 meters), space the crowns of evergreen trees at least three meters apart and prune branches up to two meters above the ground, if necessary.

Across Canada, provinces and territories lead wildfire response efforts within their jurisdictions, while the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC) helps ensure resources can be shared where they are needed most. When federal assistance is requested, the Government of Canada works alongside provinces, territories, CIFFC, and other partners to support affected communities.

This collaborative effort relies on dedicated firefighters, emergency personnel, Indigenous partners, volunteers, and organizations serving communities when it matters most.

Hazardous material spills can happen on land or in water and may involve chemicals, oil and gas, industrial products, and other dangerous substances.

If a hazardous material is released into the air, you may be instructed to “shelter in place” rather than evacuate. This means going indoors, closing doors and windows, turning off ventilation systems, and staying tuned to local radio or TV for updates.

When was the last time you checked your emergency kit or grab-and-go bag?

A good rule of thumb is to review and restock your emergency supplies twice a year. Replace expired food, water, medications and batteries, update important documents, and make sure clothing and personal items still meet your household's needs.

Taking a few minutes now can help ensure your supplies are ready when you need them most.
