Fire Prevention Week, Day 5: Feels hot? Stop using it.

Your battery will usually warn you before it fails. Stop using a device right away if it is:

• Unusually hot
• Swelling or bulging (like the one in this photo)
• Leaking
• Giving off a strange smell
• Making popping or hissing sounds

If there's smoke or fire: get out, close the door behind you, and call 911. Save this so you know what to look for.
