🔥 Our Final Fire Prevention Week Tip! 🔥

Today’s focus is HOVERBOARD SAFETY! 🛴⚡🔥

Hoverboards and other devices powered by lithium-ion batteries can pose a serious fire risk if they are damaged, improperly charged, or used incorrectly.

🔌 Use only the charger that came with the device or one approved by the manufacturer.

👀 Never leave a hoverboard charging unattended or charge it while you are sleeping.

🛏️ Never charge or store it near beds, couches, or other items that can burn.

🚫 Stop using the device if the battery becomes damaged, swollen, unusually hot, or starts making unusual noises or smells.

🏠 Charge on a hard, flat surface away from exits and combustible materials.

⚠️ Use products that are safety certified and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Fire Prevention Week may be coming to an end, but fire safety is important all year long!

A big thank-you to everyone who followed along with our daily fire prevention tips. Stay safe, stay alert, and help us prevent fires before they happen! 🚒🔥

Today’s Fire Prevention Tip: HALLOWEEN SAFETY! 👻🔥

As you head out for trick-or-treating, keep these safety tips in mind:

🔦 Carry a flashlight or use glow sticks to help you be seen.

🚶 Use sidewalks and crosswalks and watch for vehicles.

👻 Choose costumes that fit properly and avoid long or loose clothing that could cause trips or falls.

🕯️ Avoid open flames with costumes and decorations whenever possible. Use battery-powered candles or glow sticks instead.

🏠 Keep decorations away from candles, heaters, and other heat sources.

Today’s Fire Prevention Tip: SPACE HEATER SAFETY! 🌡️🔥

As the temperatures drop, space heaters can help keep us warm—but they can also be a serious fire hazard if not used properly.

🛑 Keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn, including furniture, bedding, curtains, and clothing.

🔌 Plug space heaters directly into a wall outlet. Avoid using extension cords or power strips.

👀 Never leave a space heater unattended and turn it off when you leave the room or go to bed.

🏠 Place heaters on a solid, level surface where they cannot be easily knocked over.

🐾 Keep children and pets away from space heaters.

🔥 Choose a heater with built-in safety features, such as tip-over and overheat protection.

Stay warm, but stay safe! A few simple precautions can help prevent a space heater from becoming a home fire.
