Fire Prevention Week is an annual event that promotes fire safety in the home and office. This year’s FPW campaign, “Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home'” works to educate everyone about using these batteries safely. Buy, charge, and recycle safely when it comes to lithium-ion batteries.

What is Fire Prevention Week?
