Let's keep this year’s Halloween safe. Remember: popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 to 9:30 p.m., so drive slowly. For workplace fun, make sure costumes don’t block your vision or get caught in gear. Keep exits clear of spooky decorations and have fun! 🎃👻🐈‍⬛

Fully charged? Time to unplug! Leaving your phone or laptop plugged in past 100% stresses the battery and builds up excess heat. Protect your home and office by unplugging devices once they are powered up. 🔋 #FirePreventionWeek
