E-Bikes, Tools & Larger Batteries
For tools and rides — charge outside when possible.
E-bikes, scooters, power tools, and other large lithium-ion battery devices store considerably more energy.
When possible, charge these devices outside and never allow charging equipment to block an exit. Battery fires can grow quickly if a battery fails. FPW26_Social Post Copy English
Safe charging also means keeping your means of egress clear.

On a flight? Keep it in sight.
When charging portable devices on an airplane, keep them where they can be seen and monitored. Do not charge devices in overhead compartments, and never charge e-cigarettes or vapes on an airplane.
If a battery overheats or fails, flight crews need to be able to respond quickly. FPW26_Social Post Copy English
As Fire Prevention Week comes to a close, the Alaska Central Chapter of ICC encourages everyone to carry these safe charging habits with them all year long.
Small actions really can have a big impact.

Fully charged? Time to unplug.
Once your device is fully charged, unplug it. Leaving a device plugged in longer than necessary can increase heat and stress on the battery. FPW26_Social Post Copy English

Soft surface? Hard pass.
Charge phones, tablets, laptops, and other devices on a hard, flat surface such as a table, desk, or floor.
Beds, couches, blankets, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, increasing the chance that a battery will overheat. FPW26_Social Post Copy English
The Alaska Central Chapter of ICC reminds everyone: Give batteries room to breathe while they charge.

Stop using a device if the battery:
- smells unusual
- becomes unusually warm
- makes popping noises
- changes shape or color
- begins smoking
A damaged lithium-ion battery can overheat and start a fire. FPW26_Social Post Copy English
If something doesn’t look, sound, or smell right, don’t ignore it.

Use the cord and charger that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer. Using the wrong charger can damage the battery and increase the risk of fire. FPW26_Social Post Copy English

The Alaska Central Chapter of ICC is proud to join NFPA in recognizing Fire Prevention Week 2026!
This year’s theme is “Charge into Fire Safety™: Safe Charging Is a Superpower.”
Lithium-ion batteries power many of the devices we use every day. Small choices about how we charge, use, and store those devices can make a big difference in preventing fires.
Follow us this week as we share simple battery-safety tips that can help keep Alaska homes, workplaces, and communities safer.
