🔥 Fire Prevention Month: Lithium-Ion Battery Safety 🔋 Lithium-ion batteries power the things we use every day, but they can also cause fires if not used safely. Here’s how to keep your home and family safe: ✅ Charge devices on a hard surface — never on a bed, couch, or carpet. ✅ Don’t charge overnight or when you’re away. ✅ Use only the charger and batteries from the device’s manufacturer. 🚫 Skip the cheap knockoffs — they can overheat or catch fire. | Brighton Fire Rescue
