π Safe Charging Is a Superpower
Fire Prevention Week runs October 4 to 10, and this year's focus is lithium-ion batteries. Phones, laptops, power tools, e-bikes and scooters can overheat or catch fire when damaged or charged incorrectly.
Charge smart:
π Use the charger that came with your device
π² Charge larger items like e-bikes and scooters outside, away from exits
β οΈ Stop using any battery that's damaged or overheating
π₯ Test your smoke alarms
