Fire Prevention Week 2026 ::

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.

Fire Prevention Week 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.

Fire Prevention Week 2026 ::

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

Fire Prevention Week 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.

Fire Prevention Week 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.
