Have an e-bike or e-scooter? These devices can be useful and fun, but they also come with fire risks!

E-bikes and e-scooters use large, powerful lithium-ion batteries that need to be charged and handled safely. Always use the charger that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer.

Never charge or store an e-bike or e-scooter in a hallway, doorway, or anywhere that could block your exit.

If a lithium-ion battery catches fire, the fire can spread quickly, producing intense heat and smoke. Having one of these devices between you and your exit could make it difficult or not possible to escape!

Always charge your devices on a hard, flat surface. Soft materials like pillows, beds and blankets can trap heat and cause your device to overheat. For lithium-ion batteries, this can lead to thermal runaway—a dangerous reaction that can cause a fast-moving, intense fire.

Join us for our Open House on Saturday, October 10, from 11 AM to 2 PM! Bring the family, explore the fire station, enjoy a free BBQ, and learn more about the Kennebecasis Valley Fire Department and what we do.

Cheap charger? Don't chance it!

Firefighter Chelsea Murray is checking that this drill battery is matched with the right charger. Just because a battery fits doesn’t mean the charger is safe to use with it!

Always use the cord and charger that came with your device, or a replacement approved by the manufacturer. An incompatible charger can cause the battery to overheat and start a fire.

Check the match before you charge!

Batteries do not belong in the trash!

Firefighter Gabe Summerville is showing us what NOT to do with a used battery. Even used batteries can hold enough energy to start a fire.

Keep batteries out of your regular garbage and curbside recycling. Take them to a designated battery recycling drop-off location so they can be handled safely!

You can find somewhere to recycle your batteries at http://recycleyourbatteries.ca
