On honeymoon in Puerto Rico, #FitchburgMA fire chief battles restaurant #fire. "Unfortunately, there was no sprinkler system or extinguishing system in the restaurant or in the kitchen, so we had to use just common extinguishers.The smoke just started getting thicker and heavier, and you could really start feeling the heat coming from the kitchen into the dining area" #nosprinklers #nogo! nbcboston.com/news/local/on-…
Listen to this small town firefighter talk about the need for #homefiresprinklers in his community! "Sprinklers are an equalizer!"
Unplug your device when it is fully charged. Leaving it plugged in longer than needed can increase heat and stress on the battery. For more info: fpw.org. #firepreventionweek #sparky #firesafety #batterysafety
Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor. Beds, couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, which can cause a battery to overheat. For more info: fpw.org. #firepreventionweek #firesafety #batterysafety
Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape or color, or if you see smoke. If it is safe, move the device away from anything that can catch fire. A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire.
Use the cord and charger that came with your device or ones approved by the manufacturer. Using the wrong charger can damage the battery and increase the risk of fire. For more info: fpw.org. #firepreventionweek #firesafety #batterysafety
Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible. Do not block exits when charging. These batteries store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they fail. For more info: fpw.org. #firepreventionweek #firesafety #batterysafety
Its #FirePreventionWeek. Time for everyone to take a minute to learn about charging fire safety - kids, teens, adults and seniors!

Young children, older adults and people with disabilities can face greater risks during a home fire. Installed home fire sprinklers provide automatic protection, responding to the fire without requiring someone to take action.

Sept. 20-26, 2026, is the International Week of #Deaf People. Did you know that specialized #SmokeAlarms are available w/ flashing lights & vibrations? If you or a loved one are Deaf or hard of hearing, please be sure you're protected by smoke alarms that account for your needs.
ALT fire safety infographic from the Department of Fire Services highlighting smoke alarms for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. It features illustrations of smoke alarms with flashing lights and vibration features. The message emphasizes the importance of having working smoke alarms in every home. Text includes: "Smoke alarms are important fire safety tools. Everyone needs working smoke alarms on every level of their home." and "Smoke alarms are available for people who are Deaf or hard of hearing. They use flashing lights and vibrations to warn you of a fire." The bottom text reads: "Fire Safety is for Everyone!

It’s easy to live with home fire sprinklers.
They are low-maintenance, work automatically, and are there when you need them most. You may never think about them day-to-day, but they are always ready to protect your home and family.

#CollegeStudents Welcome to Massachusetts! This may be the first time many of you have lived with #homefiresprinklers. Learn how to take care of them - don't hang things from the sprinkler heads or pipes! #campusfiresafety youtube.com/watch?v=2AWMKd0C…
If only #Massachusetts could make such a claim to fire and life safety!
40 years ago, AZ, passed a fire sprinkler ordinance requiring all new homes to be protected with fire sprinklers, a milestone that has helped save lives and reduce fire damage for decades. Read "Scottsdale at 40: The Case for Residential Fire Sprinklers." homefiresprinkler.org/report…
