Fire Prevention Week October 4th - 10th
This years campaign:
🪫🪫"Charge into Fire Safety - Safe Charging is a SUPERPOWER"🔋🔋

⚠️Use the charger supplied with your device or one approved by the manufacturer to prevent battery damage
⚠️Charge devices on hard, flat surfaces like tables or desks, avoiding beds, couches, or pillows that can trap heat
⚠️Monitor devices while charging; stop using them if they become very hot, swell, smoke, or emit unusual odors
⚠️Unplug devices once fully charged to reduce heat stress on batteries
⚠️Charge larger items outdoors and away from exits to minimize fire spread risk
⚠️Keep devices visible while charging on planes and avoid charging in overhead compartments
