Fire Prevention Week 2026: Charge Outside
As part of Fire Prevention Week, today’s reminder is about safely charging tools and electric rides.
For tools and rides, charge outside.
When charging devices such as e-bikes, scooters, power tools and other battery-powered equipment, choose a safe location outdoors whenever possible. Keep charging equipment away from exits, heat sources and anything that can catch fire, and always follow the manufacturer’s charging instructions.
A small safety step can make a big difference in preventing fires.
Small action. Big impact.

Fire Prevention Week 2026
SOFT SURFACE? HARD PASS.
Small action. Big impact.
Never charge devices with lithium-ion batteries on soft surfaces such as beds or couches. Charge them on a hard, non-flammable surface instead.
