Tamarac CERT

🔥 Think twice before charging your phone in bed.

It might seem harmless… but placing your phone under a pillow or blanket while charging can turn into a serious fire hazard.

📱 Phones generate heat while charging
🛏️ Bedding traps that heat
🚫 No airflow = rising temperatures
🔥 Increased risk of overheating, battery failure, or fire

Lithium-ion batteries don’t play nice when they overheat and nearby fabric can ignite faster than you think.

Charge smart. Sleep safe.
✔️ Charge on a hard, flat surface
✔️ Keep devices away from pillows and blankets
✔️ Use certified chargers only

A small habit change tonight can prevent a big emergency tomorrow.
