Soft Surface? Hard Pass.

Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor. Beds, couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, which can cause a battery to overheat.

For more information, please contact the Ashland Fire Department at 606-385-3234.

For Tools and Rides, Charge Outside.

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.

Feels Hot? Stop Using It.

Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape or color, or if you see smoke. If it is safe, move the device away from anything that can catch fire. A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire.

The Ashland Fire Department is teaming up with NFPA to promote October as Fire Prevention Month. This year's theme is "Charge into Fire Safety™: Safe Charging Is a Superpower". Help us spread the word that everyday actions can help prevent lithium-ion battery fires. Use your charging superpower by making smart choices every time you plug in.

Ashland residents, please know the rules before lighting an outdoor fire.

Do not burn trash, paper, boxes, debris, brush, grass, weeds, or yard waste. If you use an approved fire pit or grill for cooking or comfort, burn only clean, natural, untreated wood.

Our homes are close together. When smoke rises from behind a house, a neighbor may think the house is on fire and call 911. Sometimes our crews arrive to find an illegal burn or someone burning trash in a fire pit.

We always enjoy seeing our residents, but we hate to alarm you by showing up at your home with multiple Fire Trucks because a neighbor or passer-by thought it was on fire. Please be considerate of those around you and keep your fire from producing heavy smoke.
