🚨Soft surface? Hard Pass. 🚨
Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor. Beds, couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, which can cause a battery to overheat. 🚒🔋🔥

🚨On a flight? Keep it insight.🚨
When charging on a plane, keep portable charging devices on the tray table. Do not charge devices in overhead compartments and never charge e-cigarettes or vapes on a plane. If a battery overheats or fails, it is important for the flight crew to be able to respond quickly. 🛫🔋💺

🔌Fully charged? Time to unplug🔌
Unplug your device when it is fully charged. Leaving it plugged in longer than needed can increase heat and stress on the battery.

⚠️ For tools and rides, charge outside. ⚠️
Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible. Do not block exits when charging. These batteries store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they fail. 🚲🛴🔋

🚨 Feels hot? Stop using it. 🚨
Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape or color, or if you see smoke. If it is safe, move the device away from anything that can catch fire. A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire. 🚒🔥🔋

🚨Cheap charger? Don't chance it.🚨
Use the cord and charger that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer. Using the wrong charger can damage the battery and increase the risk of fire. 🚒🔥🔋

That's how many Spruce Grove drivers were caught speeding or in violation of other traffic laws 🚸 in school zones 🚸 during the first three weeks of the school year.

Enforcement Services is out conducting speed enforcement in school zones all around the city. Please slow down, ditch the distractions, watch for kids crossing the street, and never pass a stopped school bus with its lights flashing. We all have a role to play in protecting what's most important.

School zones are in effect on school days from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with a strictly enforced 30 km/h speed limit. See a map showing all school zones in Spruce Grove at https://loom.ly/bAwKRA0.
