Solid advice!

Unplug anything with a lithium-ion battery as soon as it’s fully charged. Phones, toys, e-scooters, power tools, and more can start a fire if they are overcharged.

Charge into Fire Safety this by making this simple habit part of your routine.

Fire safety week 2025 and we would like to remind you, not to be crazy! Don’t charge your phone with you in bed while you sleep! Don’t dispose of lithium-ion batteries in the regular garbage, recycle them! And finally, make sure you purchase approved lithium-ion batteries! Help make your home a fire safe home!
