It’s Fire Prevention Week — Let’s “Charge into Fire Safety™!” 🔋
From October 6–12, 2025, we’re joining the national effort to raise awareness about safe charging and storage of lithium-ion batteries — the power source behind many of our favorite devices.
This year’s theme, “Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home,” reminds us that safety starts with how we buy, charge, and handle these powerful batteries.
Here’s how to keep your home safe:
• BUY only listed, certified lithium-ion products.
• CHARGE devices safely — follow manufacturer instructions, never overload outlets, and avoid overnight charging.
• STORE batteries at room temperature and away from flammable materials.
• RECYCLE damaged, swollen, or old batteries responsibly — never throw them in the trash.
Let’s work together to prevent electrical and battery-related fires before they start. Share this post, tag a friend, and spread the message of fire safety during Fire Prevention Week 2025!
