🔋🔥 Charge into Fire Safety—Safe Charging Is a Superpower!
It’s Fire Prevention Week, October 4–10! This week is dedicated to teaching families how to prevent fires and stay safe—and this year’s focus is safely charging rechargeable devices.
Mesquite Fire Rescue’s Fire Prevention Team, including our fire safety clowns Nozzles, Moustachio, and Auggie, is visiting local schools to bring these lessons to life! Through fun, interactive activities, kids are learning how to properly charge devices, why batteries can overheat, and how safe habits can protect their families.
Keep those lessons going at home:
âś… Use manufacturer-approved chargers.
✅ Charge on hard, flat surfaces—not beds, pillows, or couches.
âś… Unplug devices when fully charged.
âś… Tell an adult if a device gets unusually hot, swells, smells strange, or makes unusual sounds.
đź’¬ Ask your child what they learned from our team, and check your charging spots together tonight!
