FIRE SAFETY REMINDER: SAFE BATTERY CHARGING
Lithium-ion batteries are part of our everyday lives, powering phones, tablets, tools, e-bikes, scooters, and many other devices. Safe charging habits can help reduce the risk of battery fires.
Remember:
Use the charger and cord provided by the manufacturer or an approved replacement.
Charge devices on a hard, flat surface—not on beds, couches, or pillows.
Stop using a battery if it becomes unusually hot, swells, leaks, smells strange, smokes, or makes popping or hissing sounds.
Unplug devices when they are fully charged.
Charge larger battery-powered devices, such as e-bikes, scooters, and power tools, outside when possible, and never block exits while charging.
Take a moment to review the attached NFPA safety tips and make safe charging a part of your everyday fire prevention routine.
Stay safe and charge smart!

Last night the Mystic and Old Mystic Fire Departments trained on confined space and rope rescue operations. Members reviewed recognition of confined spaces and associated hazards, metering equipment, ventilation equipment, supplied air respirators and air carts, and retrieval systems. Members were presented with several scenarios to manage including the use of a skate block to transfer victims and equipment to and from an elevated platform.

The Old Mystic Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) to support Fire Prevention Week. This year’s FPW theme, “Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower,” focuses on the simple steps people can take to recharge safely. Safe charging means making smart choices every time you plug in.
