When charging on a plane, keep portable charging devices on the tray table. Do not charge devices in overhead compartments and never charge e-cigarettes or vapes on a plane. #firepreventionweek #sparky #firesafety #batterysafety

Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible. Do not block exits when charging. These batteries store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they fail.   #firepreventionweek #sparky #firesafety #batterysafety

Alabama Fire Service: Join the AFC Fire Service Briefing on Zoom! We’ll cover critical statewide updates, discuss pressing issues, and crowdsource solutions. Tuesday, Oct 13 at 10am via Zoom

Unplug your device when it is fully charged. Leaving it plugged in longer than needed can increase heat and stress on the battery.   #firepreventionweek #sparky #firesafety #batterysafety

Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape or color, or if you see smoke. A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire. #firepreventionweek #sparky #firesafety #batterysafety

Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor. Beds, couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, which can cause a battery to overheat. #firepreventionweek #sparky #firesafety #batterysafety

Use the cord and charger that came with your device or ones approved by the manufacturer. Using the wrong charger can damage the battery and increase the risk of fire. #firepreventionweek #sparky #firesafety #batterysafety
