We were deeply saddened to learn of the recent passing of longtime FVFD BINGO patron, Mary Wells. She was a shining light at every game, bringing her humor and sharing her joy with everyone. She will be missed by our community and others, and we hope that her memory may be a blessing to those that knew her.

We had such a great time at Open House! Thank you to everyone in the community who stopped by, our members for all their hard work, and Fairfax County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), America’s K9 Caring Angels’ service dogs Teddy, Bailey and Axel, and NVNTRAK for their support!

Anything with a lithium-ion battery— phones, laptops, e-bikes, power tools —can become a fire hazard if it’s not charged safely. Always use the charger that came with the device or one approved by the manufacturer. If the cord only works when you bend it just right, it’s time to replace it. Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week.

Before you buy anything with a lithium-ion battery, do your homework. Check the packaging and product for a mark from a nationally recognized testing lab—that stamp means it meets real safety standards. A lot of products sold online and in stores don’t, and that can seriously increase your risk of fire. Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week.

Charge any lithium-ion battery device on a hard surface—never on your bed, couch, or under a pillow. And don’t overcharge. Once it’s at 100%, unplug and move on. Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week.

Charging something big like an e-bike, scooter, or power tool with a lithiumion battery? Do it outside. Use a flat, dry area away from direct sunlight, anything wet, kids, or tripping hazards. And make sure your bike or device is secure—so it doesn’t fall while charging. Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week.

Don’t toss lithium-ion batteries or devices in the trash or regular recycling bins—they can start a fire. Drop them off at a legit battery recycling spot —it’s safer and way better for the planet. Visit call2recycle.org to find a drop-off location near you. Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week.
