The FDNY has seen a 26% increase in structural fires this year compared to the same time period in 2024. We are urging New Yorkers, once again, to charge and store these batteries OUTSIDE. Let’s work together to keep our city safe. | New York City Fire Department (FDNY)

The FDNY is encouraging New Yorkers with lithium-ion powered mobility devices to follow practices to prevent fires and keep you safe. Do not leave batteries charging unattended or overnight when you’re sleeping. Do not use power or extension cords to charge.
