What does it look like when the leader empowers the individuals within the fire service? It involves promoting the idea of seeking training outside of their agency empowers firefighters to take advantage of exposing themselves to a variety of training methods that may not be taught at their respective agencies.

Take C.H.A.R.G.E. of Battery Safety ahead of the upcoming holiday shopping season. Lithium-ion batteries have many positives, but because they're storing more energy, there are also some risks. If they're misused, mistreated or damaged, they can enter thermal runaway and cause fires. 40% of Americans are not aware of the thermal runaway risk associated with lithium-ion batteries (UL Standards & Engagement, 2024). This awareness gap can lead to tragic outcomes if safe practices are not followed. Help close that gap with our latest resources now available on https://lnkd.in/efmgQCNZ. Comment below on how you and or your organization will spread the word this season. #LithiumIonBatteries #BatteryFireSafety #HolidayFireSafety Saadia Baloch Adam Barowy Dawn Landers Ey Daniel Madrzykowski Amanda Srsic, MPH Nicole Sanders-Abbott, CSM Jennifer Williams
