Power up without overloading! Even superheroes need to respect the grid. Plugging too many cords, chargers, or heavy appliances into a single outlet or power strip can cause overheating and spark a fire.

A new report highlights how structural inequities, such as aging housing, under-resourced fire protection, and geographic barriers, disproportionately drive burn injury risks in First Nations communities.

Overcharging is not a superpower, it’s a risk! Unplug your devices as soon as they reach full power. Leaving them plugged in too long stresses the battery and increases heat. Treat it like a cool-down session for your powers!

Remember your larger vehicles: Charge e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside and away from exits. Their batteries are more powerful, and fires can spread fast.

Torch the Turtle knows that using the cord and charger that came with your device (or ones approved by the manufacturer) is the only way to charge safely. Using the wrong charger can damage your battery and seriously increase your risk of fire. Don't risk your powers!
Fire Prevention Week is officially here!
Where you charge matters! Soft surfaces like beds and couches trap heat during charging, causing batteries to overheat.
