It’s fire prevention week! The NFPA is focusing on fires started by household items that get plugged in 🔌 Some of these items include phones, laptops and even e-bikes. Did you know that lithium ion batteries have been the cause of 198,000 structure fires since 2011?
Safe charging means using the chargers your device came with, ensuring you’re charging on a hard surface, unplugging your device once it’s finished charging, stopping charging if the device feels hot, and charging things like e-bikes and tools outside away from any exits!
Help keep your family safe with responsible charging habits.
