Charge any lithium-ion battery device on a hard surface—never on your bed, couch, or under a pillow. And don’t overcharge. Once it’s at 100%, unplug and move on.

Before you buy anything with a
lithium-ion battery, do your homework.
Check the packaging and product for
a mark from a nationally recognized
testing lab—that stamp means it
meets real safety standards. A lot of
products sold online and in stores
don’t, and that can seriously increase
your risk of fire. Charge Into Fire

Friday Crew Promotion

This past Friday, the SVFC promoted Master Tech Scott Key to Lieutenant, a result of many hours of hard work and training. Now, sometimes our promotion ceremonies are held in our break area with everyone gathered together, sharing cake and stories. And sometimes, we’ve had multiple calls all evening, and just as the crew finally gathers, another call comes in! So we grab a few quick pics, a quick handshake, and off they go!

Volunteering in service to your community offers many rewards. Interested in learning more? See joinsterlingfire.org!

Anything with a lithium-ion battery—
phones, laptops, e-bikes, power tools
—can become a fire hazard if it’s not
charged safely. Always use the
charger that came with the device or
one approved by the manufacturer. If
the cord only works when you bend it
just right, it’s time to replace it. Charge

Thank you. I have seen so many talking about this but not describing what products use these types of batteries. Very good details!
