October is Fire Prevention Month: Learn About Lithium-ion Battery Safety
September 30, 2025
Every October, we take time to spotlight fire prevention and safety practices that protect our community. This year, the National Fire Protection Association’s theme is “Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home.”
Lithium-ion batteries power the devices we rely on every day—from phones and laptops to scooters and e-bikes. However, if they’re damaged, used improperly, or charged incorrectly, these batteries can pose a serious fire risk. Read our Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Guidelines for practical tips that can be applied at home and on campus.
Let’s work together to keep our campus and homes safe—one charge at a time.
