National Fire Prevention Week
October 4 – 10, 2026
“Charge Into Fire Safety. Safe Charging Is a Superpower.”

For the second year in a row, the NFPA has chosen a lithium–ion battery–related theme for National Fire Prevention Week and for good reason, given their risks are heavily misunderstood. Lithium-ion batteries store a massive amount of energy in their smaller, lightweight space, making them much more powerful and potentially more volatile than traditional alkaline batteries. If a lithium-ion battery fails from excessive physical stress, improper charging, or exposure to extreme temperatures, a destructive chain reaction called thermal runaway can occur, sometimes escalating into a fire or explosion in less than 15 seconds.

While 2025’s campaign introduced lithium–ion batteries and the potential dangers of these rechargeable energy sources, this year’s theme will focus specifically on safe charging practices that you can adopt in your everyday life while at home, at play, outdoors, or on the go.

Please visit our Fire Prevention Week page to learn more about lithium-ion batteries and to download and print activity sheets for the entire family.

Help Us Fill the Boot for the Jaynes Family!

Please join us when we come together to support Erin and the Jaynes family as they face an unexpected and life-altering medical journey. To help ease their financial burden, we are hosting a "Fill the Boot" Fundraiser. Every dollar collected goes directly toward paying medical bills, travel costs for treatments, and daily living expenses while they focus on healing.

We will be at Rosauers on Saturday, September 26th and the following day, our fire truck will be at the Car Quest parking lot. Look for our volunteers holding traditional firefighter boots and drop in your cash or spare change. Thank you so much, Libby!

Even though we know just how dangerous fireworks can be, every year, thousands of people end up in emergency rooms with severe burns, eye injuries, or even devastating amputations. Besides the traumatic injuries, JULY 4TH IS THE DAY OF THE YEAR WITH THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF HUMAN-CAUSED WILDFIRES IN THE UNITED STATES, reporting nearly double the average number of daily blazes.

Whether you plan to host your own backyard celebration or attend festivities elsewhere, here are a few of the most critical firework safety tips to remember this holiday:
• If sparklers are part of your celebration, keep in mind that these novelties burn at a blistering 2,000° Fahrenheit—hot enough to melt metal. Because of this, a lit sparkler can cause a severe third-degree burn in less than a second.
• If a firework fails to ignite, do not try to relight it. Wait at least 20 minutes and douse it thoroughly in a bucket of water before throwing it away.
• Prepare your detonation area for fire emergencies and be sure to keep a large bucket of water or a running hose nearby to extinguish stray sparks.
• Adhere to strict safety perimeters by maintaining a distance of at least 35 feet for ground-based devices and 150 feet or more for aerial fireworks.
• Follow proper disposal protocol by fully submerging both used and unused fireworks in water for several hours before discarding in your outdoor trash can.

We would also like to gently remind everyone that, per city ordinance, personal fireworks are strictly prohibited within the Libby city limits. While it is tempting to join in on the fun, this ban is vital for the safety of our homes, your neighbor’s homes, and the comfort of our pets. Thank you for your cooperation and have a safe celebration.

We want to send a huge shoutout of appreciation to First Montana Bank - Libby for their generous donation in the amount of $1,000.

What makes this gift extra meaningful is the fact that the funds were donated to us in the memory of Dick Wood who passed away in February. We were honored to accept their gift as a way to perfectly capture Dick’s legacy, turning profound loss into a lasting tribute that will continue to help the community he loved for a long time to come. Most importantly, their kind gesture serves as a reminder that Dick will never be far from our hearts.

We thank you First Montana Bank and the entire community for your support not only through your monetary contributions, but morally just as well.

LIGHT THE NIGHT FOR FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS APRIL 26TH THROUGH MAY 3RD

PLEASE JOIN US AS WE SHINE OUR RED LIGHTS IN REMEMBRANCE OF AMERICA'S FALLEN FIRE HEROES WHO "ANSWERED THE CALL" AND NEVER RETURNED HOME.

Each May, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation sponsors the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend in Emmitsburg, Maryland to honor and pay tribute to the firefighters who died in the line of duty during the previous year. To make the event even more symbolic, the NFFF launched the first Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters in 2017. From that time, this event has gained widespread recognition and now includes communities in all 50 states. As part of this yearly tradition, the NFFF encourages communities to participate by displaying red lights on their landmarks, businesses, firehouses, and homes during the week of April 26 - May 3, 2026.

This is your invitation, Libby, to light up in red along with us! Every single glowing red light serves as a reminder of our fallen heroes who gave everything to protect the lives and property of neighbors and strangers alike – no matter the cost.
