This Year’s Safety Focus: “Charge into Fire Safety”

Crews will share practical tips for safely using lithium-ion batteries found in everyday items like phones, e-bikes, and power tools. Local firefighters have responded to several battery-related fires in recent years, making this an especially timely topic for our community.
