Willow says: Before you fetch the firewood, sniff out the weather forecast!

💨Windy conditions can make recreational fire unpredictable by carrying sparks and embers into nearby grass, trees, or structures.

If the wind is picking up, it's best to put your fire plans on "paws" and wait for a calmer day.

Rocky says: Don't be too quick to "pawse"! Some fires can come back with a bark!

Many fires can reignite if heat remains trapped beneath the surface, and lithium-ion battery fires are especially known for this risk.

Even after appearing to be extinguished, a damaged battery can reignite hours or even days later which is why these incidents require specialized response and continued monitoring.

Bark up the right tree! Poppa reminds you to charge your e-bikes and e-scooters safely!

🔋Use only the manufacturer's approved charger.
🛴Do not charge near exits or doorways, so that escape routes remain clear in the event of a fire.
🚲Charge your e-bike or e-scooter when you are awake and able to monitor it.
