Battery Fire Advisory: Remember to Unplug Chargers After Charging

As temperatures cool and we spend more time indoors, Greendale Fire, EMS, Police, and Mayor Karsteter would like to share a simple home safety reminder with our community.

Fire activity tends to increase in the fall, and batteries left on chargers can be a common cause of home fires. Residents are encouraged to remove batteries from their chargers once they are fully charged and to unplug the chargers afterward.

It’s a small habit that helps keep our homes, families, and neighbors safe. Thank you for looking out for one another, Greendale.
