Fire Prevention Week may have just ended, but we all can continue to use this year's theme to maintain safe charging habits throughout the year.

1) Cheap charger? Don't chance it.
2) Soft surface? Hard pass.
3) Feels hot? Stop using it.
4) Fully charged? Time to unplug.
5) For tools and rides, Charge outside.
6) Out of sight? Not in flight.

See the attached tip sheet from the National Fire Protection Association for more information, and make safe charging be Your Superpower!
