The theme set out by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for Fire Prevention Week 2025 is:
“Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home”
The theme works to educate everyone about using these batteries safely. The campaign stresses how important it is to BUY, CHARGE, and RECYCLE safely when it comes to lithium-ion batteries.
