⚠️🪫IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU🪫⚠️
Lithium-ion batteries are powerful and convenient, but when they are damaged, improperly charged, or used incorrectly, they can overheat and start a fire. NFPA notes that lithium-ion battery fires are becoming an increasing concern as these batteries become more common in everyday devices.

Did you know you probably have more lithium-ion batteries in your home than you realize?

📱 Smartphones
💻 Laptops & tablets
🎧 Wireless earbuds
⌚ Smartwatches
🪥 Electric toothbrushes
🎮 Gaming devices
🧸 Toys
🔋 Portable power banks
🛴 E-scooters & e-bikes
🔧 Power tools
…AND MANY MANY MORE!

Take a look around your home today, you may be surprised by just how many lithium-ion batteries are powering your everyday life. The Rosenberg Fire Department is urging all citizens to Use your charging superpowers!

✔️ Use the charger and cord that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer.
✔️ Charge devices on a hard, flat surface, NOT on a bed, couch, or under a pillow.
✔️ Unplug your device when it is fully charged.
✔️ Keep charging devices away from anything that can catch fire.
✔️ Charge larger devices, such as e-bikes and scooters, in a safe location away from exits when possible.
✔️ Stop using a battery if it becomes unusually hot, swells, leaks, smells strange, smokes, or makes popping/hissing sounds.

So join the Rosenberg Fire Department in teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to spread this year’s Fire Prevention Week theme:
⚡️Charge into Fire Safety™ - Safe Charging Is a Superpower!⚡️

🔥 Fire prevention starts with the little things we do every day. Charge smart. Charge safe. Make fire safety your superpower! 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

It is with profound sadness that the Phoenix Fire Department mourns the passing of Captain Cort Asbury, a 35-year veteran of the Phoenix Fire Department.

Captain Asbury dedicated more than three decades to serving our department and our community with professionalism, commitment and an unwavering dedication to those around him. His loss is deeply felt by the family, especially his crew, colleagues and all those who had the privilege of knowing and serving alongside him.

Rest easy, Captain Asbury. Thank you for 35 years of dedicated service. You will be deeply missed.
