In the United Stated alone, roughly 4,000 fires are started each year due to devices being charged while under pillows or blankets. 🔥
Remember to charge your devices on hard, flat surfaces that are at least three feet away from your bed or other soft surfaces you may be sleeping on.
Check back each month for more fire safety and prevention tips for you and your kiddos. 🧑🏻‍🚒
