For Tools and Rides - Charge Outside!

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.

Thanks to LHS FBLA and Interact Club

Thank you to the LHS students who helped prepare fire prevention week materials last night. Many members of FBLA and Interact Club helped pack FPW bags, prepare Trick or Treat give aways, and counted out other fire prevention materials. This was a huge help to have so many students pitch in to promote fire safety in the community.

Fully Charged? Time to Unplug.

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

Feels Hot? Stop Using It.

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.

Soft Surface? Hard Pass.

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.
