On a Flight? Keep It Insight.

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.

Good Afternoon Ashland! It's that time again for the National Drug RX Take-back day on Saturday, October 24th from 10 AM to 2 PM.

This event provides a free, anonymous, and safe way for the public to dispose of unused or expired medications. We will have someone stationed in the APD sally port (garage) that is attached to the police department.

Please enter from 17th Street into the alley behind the Ashland Police Department. You will then enter the sally port from the alley and drop off unused prescription medication to the officer. After dropping off the medication, you will exit onto Greenup Avenue.

Cheap Charger? Don’t Chance It.

Use the cord and charger that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer. Using the wrong charger can damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Soft Surface? Hard Pass.

Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor. Beds, couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, which can cause a battery to overheat.

For more information, please contact the Ashland Fire Department at 606-385-3234.

For Tools and Rides, Charge Outside.

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.
