On 10/24, the Wheeling Fire Department hosted a Technical Rescue Drill with our partners from @MABASIllinois. Crews trained at a water tower using a scenario based on a real rescue from 2020 at that very location. Thanks to everyone who joined us & helped make the day a success!

Anything with a lithium-ion battery can become a fire hazard if it's not charged safely. Always use the charger that came with the device or one approved by the manufacturer. If the cord works only when you bend it just right, it's time to replace it. #FirePreventionWeek
