♻️ Don’t trash batteries. Lithium-ion = hazardous waste. Always recycle at approved drop-off sites. Contact your local municipality with questions. #FirePreventionWeek | https://t.co/Q96QuncDFy

Charging something big like an e-bike, scooter, or power tool? 🌞 Do it outside on a flat, dry surface away from sunlight and moisture 🔒 Make sure your device is secure so it doesn’t fall while charging. Let’s Charge Into Fire Safety together! #FirePreventionWeek

Anything with a lithium-ion battery - phones, laptops, e-bikes, power tools - can become a fire hazard if not charged properly. ✅ Always use the charger that came with the device or one approved by the manufacturer. Let’s Charge Into Fire Safety this #FirePreventionWeek!

Before buying anything with a lithium-ion battery, check for a mark from a nationally recognized testing lab like CSA, ULC, or ETL. 📦 That stamp means it meets real safety standards. 🚫 Many products sold online don’t - and that can increase your fire risk. #FPW2025
