Halloween is a week away!
🎃 Use battery-operated candles in jack-o'-lanterns.
🎃 Keep decorations away from heat sources.
🎃 Make sure costumes don't have long, trailing fabric.
🎃 Give kids flashlights or glow sticks.
🎃 Keep exits and walkways clear.

Getting into the Halloween spirit?
Cornstalks, paper, and other decorations can catch fire easily. Keep them away from candles, light bulbs, and heaters.
When it comes to lighting your jack-o'-lanterns, battery-operated candles or glow sticks are a safer choice!
📃Applications are open through November 8 at midnight

When charging on a plane, keep portable charging devices on the tray table.
Do not charge devices in overhead compartments and never charge e-cigarettes or vapes on a plane.

Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible.
Do not block exits when charging.
These batteries store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they fail.
#firepreventionweek #sparky #firesafety #batterysafety
Unplug your device when it is fully charged.
Leaving it plugged in longer than needed can increase heat and stress on the battery.
#firepreventionweek #sparky #firesafety #batterysafety
Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is warm, makes popping noises, changes shape/color, or if you see smoke.
A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire.
