MISSION | Fire Prevention Week: Lithium-Ion Battery Safety This years Fire Prevention Week was focused on lithium-ion battery safety. These batteries power our phones, laptops, and tools, but if damaged or used the wrong way, they can cause fires. Fire Emergency Services reminds everyone to charge batteries with the right equipment, store them in a cool, dry place, and throw away any that look damaged or swollen. By staying safe and aware, we help protect our people, our mission, and our base. �
