As you may have noticed from these client appreciation emails, I am dedicated to building prosperity and community. I do this by sharing valuable information before, during, and after real estate transactions. Today, I am pleased to pass on information from The National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) 2025 Fire Prevention Week™ Theme: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home The Risks of Lithium-Ion Batteries. If you know someone seeking exceptional service, I would be glad to assist them.
Understanding how to handle lithium-ion batteries safely is a simple but powerful way to prevent home fires and protect your household. Let's all "Charge into Fire Safety™" this Fire Prevention Week — and every week.

From Phones to Power Tools: Know the Risks of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries power many of the electronics we use every day, smartphones, tablets, laptops, e-cigarettes, power and lawn tools, headphones, toys, and more. In fact, most rechargeable devices in our homes rely on these batteries.
While convenient and powerful, lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous if misused or damaged. They can overheat, catch fire, or even explode under certain conditions.
This year's Fire Prevention Week campaign encourages everyone to understand these risks and follow the Buy, Charge, and Recycle Safely approach.
Buy Only Listed Products
Purchase products that have been tested and certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (such as UL or ETL).
Be cautious of online or store-bought items without clear safety labeling. These may pose a higher fire risk.
Charge Devices Safely
Use only the charger and cables that came with your device, or replacements approved by the manufacturer.
Charge on hard, flat surfaces — never on beds, couches, or under pillows.
Unplug devices when fully charged. Don't leave them charging overnight or unattended.
Recycle Batteries Responsibly
Never throw lithium-ion batteries in the trash or curbside recycling.
Improper disposal can cause fires in garbage trucks or recycling centers.
Instead, take them to a certified battery recycling facility.
