FirePreventionWeek starts today!

This year’s theme is “Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home.”

Lithium-ion batteries pack a lot of power in a small device—and they’re in countless items we use every day, from phones and laptops to e-bikes and power tools. But did you know they can pose serious fire hazards if they’re damaged, defective, or disposed of improperly?

Throughout this week, the Holden Fire Department will share safety tips to help you and your family use and store these batteries safely.
