Lithium-Ion Batteries
The CT Fire Academy is proud to announce its collaboration with the UCONN Fire Department and Residential Life in delivering a vital Public Service Announcement (PSA) to our community.
This PSA focuses on the pressing national concern surrounding Lithium-ion batteries. In 2021, New York City alone witnessed the alarming response to 104 fires ignited by these batteries, causing 79 injuries and tragically claiming the lives of 4 individuals.
To help combat this issue, we urge you to download and share this important PSA within your networks and communities. Together, we can raise awareness and promote safer practices regarding Lithium-ion batteries. Stay informed, stay safe!
