🔥 A conversation that really stuck with me from yesterday’s Jamesville Fire Department Open House…

While talking with children about fire prevention, I asked a simple question:

“Where do you charge your phone, tablet, toys, or other devices at home?”

I was happy to hear so many kids say they charge their devices on hard surfaces. A couple mentioned charging on softer surfaces, which opened the door to some really great questions and conversations about why where we charge our devices matters. ❤️

🔋 Charge devices on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or counter.

Beds, couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, which can cause a battery to overheat.

These simple conversations are exactly why Fire Prevention Week is so important. Sometimes a small conversation can create a safer habit at home.

I’m so thankful to the Jamesville Fire Department for allowing me to be part of such an amazing community event and for giving me the opportunity to help share these important safety messages with local families. 🚒❤️

And the conversations don’t stop here! I’m looking forward to spending more time with our local families throughout the week at several of our local libraries, continuing to share fire prevention and home safety information and, most importantly, connecting with our community. 📚❤️

👉 Take a minute tonight to ask your kids where they charge their devices.

💬 Comment below: Where does your family charge phones, tablets, and other devices?

❤️ Share this post with another family who might find this reminder helpful!

Talk about fire safety. Ask questions. Make safe choices.
