Two events are coming up as part of Fire Prevention Week in St. Marys.
The theme for this year’s week is Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home, with a focus on how important it is to buy, charge, and recycle batteries safely.
St. Marys FD host a fire truck visit and swag bag booth on Thursday at Your Independent Grocer from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
A fire department open house runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.
Firefighters advise buying products using batteries with a safety certification mark like UL, ETL, or CSA, use the cords that come with the products to charge them, and recycle your battery or device in a safe recycling location.
