🔥Protect yourself from fires and falls this season!

A few simple steps can make our homes safer and help improve our resiliency:

▪️ Clear clutter from walkways, stairs, and exits to reduce trip hazards and make it easier to leave quickly in an emergency
▪️ Stay active with exercises that improve strength and balance
▪️ Create and practice a home escape plan so everyone knows what to do if there's a fire
▪️ Test smoke alarms regularly and replace batteries as needed

Small changes can make a big difference. Take time today to create a safer home and prevent fires and falls.

Staying active is one of the best ways to reduce our risk of falls and maintain our independence as we age. Whether it's taking a walk with a friend, joining a fitness class, dancing, or participating in an evidence-based program like Stepping On, every step you take helps build strength, improve balance, and boost confidence.

This Active Aging Week, challenge yourself to get moving, stay connected, and try something new. Your future self will thank you!

It's Fire Prevention Week!

Safety Tip of the day:
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.

It's Fire Prevention Week October 4–10, 2026!

🔥⚡ CHARGE INTO FIRE SAFETY: SAFE CHARGING IS A SUPERPOWER! ⚡🔥

The City of Brookfield Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) to support Fire Prevention Week!

This year’s theme, “Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower,” reminds us that simple choices every time we plug in can help prevent fires.

🔋 Lithium-ion batteries power many of the devices we use every day — including phones, tablets, laptops, power tools, toys, e-bikes, and scooters. When batteries are damaged or improperly charged, they can overheat, catch fire, or even explode.

🦸‍♀️ Power up safely:
• Use the charger and cord that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer.
• Charge devices on a hard, flat surface — never on beds, couches, or under pillows.
• Stop using a device if it becomes very hot, swells, smokes, or develops an unusual smell.
• Unplug devices when they are fully charged.
• Charge larger devices, such as e-bikes, scooters, and power tools, outside and away from exits.
• When flying, keep devices where you can see them while charging. Never charge devices in overhead compartments, and never charge e-cigarettes or vapes on an airplane.

A few simple habits can make a big difference. Be a charging safety superpower! 🦸‍♂️🔋

🔥 October is Fire Prevention Month in the City of Brookfield! 🔥

While Fire Prevention Week is next week, here in Brookfield, we like to make fire prevention a focus all month long. October is a great time to refresh our fire and life safety habits, talk with our families, and take simple steps to help keep our homes and community safe.

We are also teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week (FPW), to promote this year’s campaign:

⚡ “Charge into Fire Safety™. Safe Charging Is a Superpower.”

The campaign highlights everyday charging habits that can help reduce the risk of lithium-ion battery fires and keep our homes and communities safer.

Throughout October, we’ll be sharing fire and life safety tips to help you and your family stay safe.

🚒 Follow along and make fire prevention a priority this October!
