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.

Fire Prevention Week was full of learning and fun!

We welcomed third graders to our new fire station, where they learned how to prevent fires, how to report a fire, and so much more!

Unplug your device when it is fully charged. Leaving it plugged in longer than needed can increase heat and stress on the battery.

Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape or color, or if you see smoke.

If it is safe, move the device away from anything that can catch fire. A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire.

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.

10/06/2026

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