Charging Safety Tip: Charge in a Room With a Working Smoke Alarm

🔋 Charging Safety Tip: charge in a room with a working smoke alarm, and keep a fire extinguisher within reach.


Battery problems are rare, but when they happen they move fast — a working alarm buys you the seconds that matter. If you charge indoors, do it in a room where you'd hear that alarm loud and clear, and know where your extinguisher is before you ever need it.


(Based on Fire Prevention Week 2026 "Charge into Fire Safety" guidance: always charge with a working smoke alarm nearby and have a fire extinguisher within reach.)
