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. For more
info: fpw.org.

10/10/2026

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. For more info: fpw.org.

10/09/2026

Unplug your device when it is fully charged. Leaving it plugged in
longer than needed can increase heat and stress on the battery. For
more info: fpw.org.

10/08/2026

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. For more info: fpw.org.

10/07/2026

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 info: fpw.org.

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. For more info:
fpw.org.

Words cannot express how saddened we are for the lives lost fighting the fight to protect and serve our communities, and of those of people we may never meet. We choose to battle for humanity. Bless the souls who gave their all to protect all others who continue in their absence. Sending our deepest condolences to family and friends of those who are no longer with us, and for those injured in this terrible tragedy. I ask that just for a moment you pause in your chaotic life to pray for their families and the safety and well-being for all other responders battling this fire and all others around the country.
