🔋Misuse of lithium-ion batteries has been a growing cause of fires. 🎁As you unwrap new gadgets this season, ensure you only use the original charger and unplug it once fully charged to prevent overheating and catching on fire. #FirePrevention #FireSmart

Cooking during the holidays can be stressful! But don't let the busyness of the season stop you from staying safe in the kitchen. Remember to keep a pot lid near the stove to smother flames if a grease fire starts. Never throw water on a grease fire—this will spread the flames.

🍳While cooking for your loved ones this holiday season, remember to stay safe and prevent house fires by remaining in the kitchen whenever the stove is on. Turn off the burner if you leave the room. #FireSmart #FirePrevention

✨This holiday season, consider using flameless, battery-operated candles. If you use real ones, keep them at least 30cm away from anything that can burn. #FireSmart #FirePrevention

🔋 Fire Prevention Week Safety Tip #4: Don’t toss lithium-ion batteries in the trash or regular recycling bins—they can start a fire. Dispose of old batteries at a designated battery recycling spot. Visit recycleyourbatteries.ca to find a location near you.

🔥Fire Prevention Week safety tip #3: Charge devices safely and unplug when fully charged. Charge any lithium-ion battery device on a hard surface—never on your bed, couch, or under a pillow. Once it’s at 100%, unplug and move on. Learn more: nfpa.org/events/fire-prevent…
