Check lithium-ion batteries before charging. If a battery is dented, swollen, or leaking, stop using it and don’t charge it. Keep it out of the trash and contact your local hazardous waste program for safe disposal.

Cooking is the leading cause of home fires. Leaving food unattended increases the risk of a fire. Stay in the kitchen while frying, boiling, grilling, or broiling food. If you need to step away, turn off the heat first.

Even your space heater needs personal space!

BCFD and the American Red Cross remind you to keep heaters at least 3 feet from anything that can burn. Plug them straight into a wall outlet and switch them off before leaving the room or going to bed.

BCFD proudly marched in the Baltimore City Veterans Day Parade to honor all who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Thank you to our veterans, including those who continue to serve Baltimore as part of BCFD.

Never add water to a grease fire! For a small pan fire, if safe, cover with a metal lid, turn off heat and leave covered until cool. Never move the pan. If it spreads or you’re unsure, get out and call 911.
