Port Huron residents are being reminded to handle electronics safely during Fire Prevention Week, October 5th thru 11th. This year’s theme, “Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home,” highlights the fire risks from batteries in phones, laptops, tools, and e-cigarettes. The National Fire Protection Association warns to buy only certified products, charge devices on hard surfaces using the correct cables, and never overcharge. Residents are also urged to recycle batteries properly at approved locations instead of tossing them in the trash to prevent fires.
