🔋⚠️ Battery Safety Starts at Home ⚠️🔋

From cell phones and tablets to power tools, e-bikes, and lawn equipment, rechargeable batteries are a part of everyday life. While they are generally safe, damaged batteries or improper charging practices can lead to overheating, smoke, and even devastating structure fires.

Help keep your family safe by following these simple tips:

✅ Use only manufacturer-approved batteries and chargers.
✅ Never charge batteries on beds, couches, or other combustible surfaces.
✅ Avoid overcharging devices; unplug them when fully charged.
✅ Keep batteries away from extreme heat and direct sunlight.
✅ Replace damaged, swollen, or overheating batteries immediately.
✅ Do not block vents or cover charging devices while in use.
✅ Store batteries in a cool, dry location.
✅ If a battery begins smoking, sparking, or emitting an unusual odor, move away and call 911.

Lithium-ion batteries power many of the devices we rely on every day, but they deserve respect and proper care. A few simple precautions can help prevent a small problem from becoming a major emergency.

Stay charged. Stay aware. Stay safe. 🚒🏠

As temperatures begin to rise across Minnesota this June, the Lakeville Professional Firefighters IAFF Local #5542 would like to remind everyone about the importance of staying properly hydrated. Whether you’re working outside, coaching youth sports, enjoying the lake, or spending time at community events, dehydration can happen quicker than many people realize.

For firefighters and first responders, hydration is critical to maintaining focus, endurance, and overall safety; but the same goes for the public as well. Drink water consistently throughout the day, limit excessive caffeine and alcohol during extreme heat, and don’t wait until you feel thirsty to hydrate. Staying ahead of the heat helps keep everyone safe this summer. ☀️🚒💧

Huge thank you to Cub Foods for stopping by and treating B-Shift to some fresh donuts this morning! 🍩🚒

We truly appreciate the support from local businesses and community partners who take the time to think about first responders. Safe to say the crew was pretty happy about the surprise delivery.

And judging by the smell coming from the fire station this morning… we may have made PD a little jealous too. 😅👮🍩 of Lakeville, MN - Police Department

Thanks again, Cub Foods; your support means a lot to our crews!

Training doesn't stop once the badge is pinned on; it's a commitment that continues throughout a firefighter's career.

A special shoutout to Local #5542 member Dan Parrott for recently being featured in a City of Lakeville video discussing the Fire Apparatus Operator (FAO) course hosted by the Lakeville Fire Department. Dan did a great job highlighting the dedication, professionalism, and training required to safely operate fire apparatus and serve our community.

We appreciate Dan for representing our members and helping give the public a behind-the-scenes look at the work that goes into preparing firefighters for the job.

Great work, Dan! 🚒👏
