Springfield Township Fire & Rescue

🚒 A busy day in Springfield Township!

Station 23 in New Springfield is looking sharp this afternoon as crews return from a callback for a motor vehicle accident. The flowers are blooming, the doors are open, and our volunteers are ready for whatever comes next.

Our volunteer firefighters dedicate countless hours to training, responding to emergencies, and serving our community—often leaving family dinners, work, and personal time when the pager sounds. Today was no different.

Proud of our volunteers. Proud of our community. Proud to serve. 🇺🇸🚒

That outlet splitter may look like it’s training for the Olympics… but if it’s powering the microwave, air fryer, coffee maker, phone chargers, and your cousin’s DJ equipment all at once — it’s probably waving a red flag. 🚩 ⚠️🔥

Overloaded surge protectors and outlet splitters can overheat and quickly become a fire hazard. These devices are designed for limited use — not to power multiple high-demand appliances at the same time.

🚫 Stop using any surge protector or splitter immediately if you notice:
• Discoloration or charring
• Melting
• Burning smells
• Signs of fire damage
• Frayed or damaged cords

⚠️ Extension cords and surge protectors should never be:
• Run under carpets or rugs
• Covered by furniture
• Pinched behind appliances
• Placed near anything that can easily catch fire

Heat gets trapped when cords can’t properly ventilate, increasing the risk of overheating and fire.

✅ Always look for devices that are laboratory tested and certified.

A good rule of thumb: if your outlet setup looks like a game of electrical Jenga… it’s time to unplug and rethink it.
