Today’s training was a reminder that skills don’t just happen. They are passed from one firefighter to the next.

Experienced members spent the day teaching, coaching, and sharing lessons learned. Newer firefighters gained hands on experience that will help them perform when someone calls for help on their worst day.

Training builds competence. Mentorship builds firefighters. We are grateful for both. 🚒

🚨 LITHIUM-ION BATTERY SAFETY 🚨

Today, Hampden Township Volunteer Fire Company responded to an e-bike battery fire. Fortunately, it occurred outside. Had it happened inside a home, garage, or apartment, the results could have been devastating.

Lithium-ion batteries can fail without warning, causing intense fires, toxic smoke, and explosions. As e-bikes, scooters, tools, and other rechargeable devices become more common, battery fires are increasing across the country.

Protect your family:

🔋 Use only approved batteries and chargers
🔋 Never charge batteries unattended or overnight
🔋 Stop using batteries that are damaged, swollen, or overheating
🔋 Never throw lithium-ion batteries in the trash

♻️ Find a safe battery recycling location:

If a battery starts smoking, hissing, or overheating, get out, stay out, and call 911.

Today HTVFC members participated in the Hampden Township Veterans Recognition Committee’s - Run to Remember at the Veterans Memorial Park! Our Fire Police provided traffic safety while others provided support! We even had a few runners. It’s important to remember the reason for Memorial Day. To mourn,  honor, and remember U.S. military personnel who died while serving their country.
