Do you need more information on lithium ion battery safety?
We still have several handouts and safety materials left over from our open house.

If you would like some, please reach out to us to set up a time to pick that up.

We have brochures, posters, pencils, work books, and stickers.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK 2026 — CHARGE INTO FIRE SAFETY!

Lithium-ion batteries power many of the devices we use every day—from cell phones and laptops to e-bikes, power tools, and other electronics. When damaged, improperly charged, or overheated, these batteries can pose a serious fire risk.

During Fire Prevention Week 2026, remember:

Use only the charger designed for your device.
Charge batteries on a hard, non-combustible surface—not on a bed or couch.
Keep charging devices away from anything that can burn.
Never use a battery that is swollen, leaking, damaged, or unusually hot.
Avoid exposing batteries to extreme heat or cold.
Keep lithium-ion batteries out of the trash and recycle them properly.
Never leave charging batteries unattended.

A few simple habits can help prevent a battery fire and protect your home and family.

Charge it right. Use it right. Stay fire safe!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our winter ready class and our open house.
We had a great turnout.

During many conversations, we found that many of our visitors wanted more information on how to complete their emergency information on their phone.

Below is a video where Firefighter Demski will go through the various ways to complete your emergency information on your mobile device.

If you need assistance with this, feel free to ask one of our staff members.

Good morning.
Peninsula Township Fire Department wants to remind everyone that we have a busy week coming up with fun events for the entire family.

Are you prepared for this coming winter? Do you want some helpful tips?

We will be hosting a Winter Ready class at the Peninsula Community Library this Monday at 6pm. The flyer is attached to this post.

This Tuesday starting at 4pm is our annual open house at station 1.

• Learn how to stop bleeds in the event of an emergency.
• Check out our new fire safety house.
• You can purchase a emergency reflective address sign right on site. ($15 fee)
• Tour our fire boat.
• Enjoy the free food and much more.

NEW THIS YEAR
•Our neighbors at Grand Traverse Metro Emergency Services Authority allowed us to borrow their fire extinguisher prop. This is a great tool to teach you how to properly use a fire extinguisher with live fire.

• Stop in to our open house and get your free reflective Halloween candy bags. These bags will help your child be seen in low visibility.

• Show your PTFD support and pick up one of our shirts that we will have on hand to be purchased.

• Pick up our very own Peninsula Township Fire Dept. coloring book sheets. Each sheet is a photo of our own staff, equipment, and fire safety tips.

Stay safe and we hope to see everyone.
