🔋 Where you charge matters.
Scrolling while charging your phone in bed sounds comfy, but it can be a fire hazard because soft surfaces trap heat.
This #FirePreventionWeek, charge into safety by charging your devices on a table, desk, or countertop.
#PrepareTravisCounty
🔌 That cheap charger may not be worth the risk.
This #FirePreventionWeek, take a look around home and make sure you’re using the charger and cord that came with your devices.
The wrong charger can damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
