🚨🏠 Fire Safety Starts with a Plan 🏠🚨

The best time to prepare for a home fire emergency is before it happens.

The North Lake Fire Department encourages every family to create and practice a Home Evacuation Plan. In a fire, you may have less than 2 minutes to escape safely.

Have you practiced your family's fire escape plan this year?

Stay safe,

🔋 Lithium Battery Safety Tips from North Lake Fire Department 🔋

Lithium-ion batteries power many of the devices we use every day, including cell phones, laptops, power tools, e-bikes, scooters, and more. When used, stored, and charged properly, they are safe and reliable, but it is important to follow basic safety practices to reduce the risk of fire.

✅ Use only manufacturer-approved chargers
✅ Charge batteries on a hard, nonflammable surface
✅ Only charge batteries when someone is home and able to monitor them
✅ Never charge batteries overnight while you are sleeping
✅ Keep charging devices away from beds, couches, curtains, and other combustible materials
✅ Stop using batteries that are damaged, swollen, overheating, or showing signs of wear
✅ Store batteries in a cool, dry location
✅ Recycle damaged or unwanted lithium batteries at approved collection sites

A few simple precautions can help prevent a dangerous fire and keep your family safe.
