It’s Fire Prevention Week! 🔥

This year’s focus is on battery safety — especially the powerful lithium-ion batteries found in e-bikes, electric scooters, phones, laptops, and more.

➡️ Battery & Charger Safety Tips:
✅ Only use chargers made for your specific device, especially for e-bikes and electric scooters.
✅ Never charge e-bikes or scooters indoors — always charge outside in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from anything flammable.
✅ Never leave batteries charging unattended or overnight.
✅ Charge on a hard, flat surface — not on beds, couches, or near curtains.
✅ Stop using batteries that are damaged, swollen, overheating, or leaking.
✅ Keep charging devices away from doorways or exits.
✅ Recycle used or damaged batteries safely — never throw them in the trash!

What to Do If an E-Bike or Scooter Battery Catches Fire:

Do NOT try to put it out with water.
Get out of the area immediately and call 911 or your local emergency number.
Wait for firefighters to arrive — lithium battery fires can reignite even after being put out.
If it’s safe, warn others and help them evacuate.
Battery fires happen fast — but with the right precautions, they can be prevented.
Charge smart. Stay safe. Protect your home.

¡Es la Semana de la Prevención de Incendios! 🔥
Este año nos enfocamos en la seguridad de las baterías, especialmente las de bicicletas eléctricas (e-bikes), scooters eléctricos, teléfonos, laptops y más.

➡️ Consejos importantes para cargar baterías de forma segura:
✅ Usa solo cargadores originales y compatibles con tu dispositivo, especialmente en e-bikes y scooters.
✅ No cargues bicicletas ni scooters eléctricos dentro de la casa — hazlo en un lugar exterior, ventilado y seco, lejos de materiales inflamables.
✅ Nunca dejes cargando baterías sin supervisión o durante la noche.
✅ Carga sobre una superficie dura y plana — no sobre camas, sofás o cerca de cortinas.
✅ Deja de usar baterías que estén dañadas, hinchadas, calientes o con fugas.
✅ No bloquees las salidas de emergencia con dispositivos mientras se cargan.
✅ Recicla las baterías usadas o dañadas correctamente — ¡nunca las tires a la basura!

¿Qué hacer si una batería de e-bike o scooter se incendia?

No intentes apagar el fuego tú mismo con agua.
Sal del lugar de inmediato y llama al 911 o al número de emergencias local.
Espera a que los bomberos lleguen. Las baterías de litio pueden reencenderse incluso después de apagadas.
Si es seguro hacerlo, avisa a otros para evacuar el área.

For the past 19 years, the Madison Fire Department has hosted Fill the Boot for Burns. An incredible non profit that was founded for the purpose of establishing a local burn treatment facility; providing recovery programs for burn survivors; promoting fire and burn prevention through public education; funding education for medical burn team professionals, firefighters, and burn survivors; and supporting burn treatment and rehabilitation research.
This past weekend we were out again with help from Yocha Dehe Fire Department, Esparto Volunteer Firefighters Association and CAL FIRE Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit, raising $30,592 all because of the generous donations our communities and passerby’s made. We appreciate your continued support to the Firefighters Burn Institute. We’ll see you next year for year 20!
