🔥 **Charge Into Fire Safety with White Plains Volunteer Fire Department!** 🔥

Safe charging also means safe storage and disposal. Avoid piling battery-powered devices, including e-cigarettes and vapes, together in a box. These devices can overheat and ignite nearby materials.

The damage pictured followed a fire in Horry County involving a collection of va**ng devices. Let this serve as a reminder to handle battery-powered electronics with care.

Contact local battery retailers or recycling centers to ask where you can safely dispose of old or unused devices.

Help protect your home and family—charge, store, and dispose of electronics safely! 🚒

: Cheap Charger? Don’t Chance It.

Use the cord and charger that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer. Using the wrong charger can damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

đźš’ October is Fire Prevention Month!

Where you charge your phone matters! Keep charging devices off beds, pillows, and blankets, which can trap heat. Choose a hard, flat surface away from anything that can burn, and use the manufacturer-recommended charger.

A full battery isn’t worth risking your home or your family. ❤️

The fire truck you see responding from White Plains Volunteer Fire Department may be driven by someone who was asleep in their own bed just minutes earlier. đźš’

Our volunteers are your neighbors. They leave work, family dinners, and warm beds when the call comes in. They head to the station, put on their gear, and respond to someone who needs help.

Those calls aren’t just fires. They’re wrecks on dark roads, trees down after a storm, and medical emergencies where every minute matters.

In a community like White Plains, we sometimes recognize the address before we arrive. We may know the family waiting inside. We go anyway. And when the call is over, many of us head back to work or home to our families.

To our volunteers, their families, and everyone who supports Station 78: thank you. ❤️

On Tuesday, September 22, members of White Plains Volunteer Fire Department participated in Hose, Streams, and Appliances training hosted by Surry Community College. đźš’

Members practiced working with fire hose, directing water streams, and using appliances such as nozzles and fittings that help move and control water at a fire scene. These skills help our crews work together and deliver water where it’s needed most.

Thank you to Surry Community College for providing this training and to our members for continuing to learn and serve our community!
