The Bismarck Fire Department and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) are promoting fire safety awareness as part of this year’s Fire Prevention Week, which focuses on the theme "Charge into Fire Safety – 3 Steps."
The campaign aims to educate the public about safe practices when using products powered by lithium-ion batteries. The organizations have shared three key tips for community members. The first tip is to purchase products that use lithium-ion batteries only if they have a recognized safety mark such as UL, ETL, or CSA. This ensures that the product has been tested and meets established safety standards.
Fire Prevention Week is an annual event designed to raise awareness about fire hazards and encourage safe behaviors in homes and businesses. The Bismarck Fire Department encourages residents to follow these guidelines to reduce risks associated with battery-powered devices.
