This is your warning - City of Toronto launches lithium-ion battery safety campaign
Toronto Fire Services, in partnership with the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal and the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs, launched a lithium-ion battery public safety and education campaign called “This is Your Warning” that highlights the fire risks associated with lithium-ion batteries in micromobility devices such as e-bikes.
In 2023, the number of lithium-ion battery-related fires in Toronto increased by 90 per cent compared to 2022. Already this year, there have been 15 fires involving lithium-ion batteries; seven of those fires were related to micromobility devices.
Lithium-ion batteries power many devices including smart phones, laptops, e-bikes and toys. They are generally safe but can pose a significant risk if not handled carefully. Lithium-ion batteries store a large amount of energy in a small amount of space and they can pose potential fire safety hazards if not used properly.
To prevent lithium-ion battery related fires, the City’s public education campaign will share information on the risks associated with tampering or using uncertified batteries and why it’s important to safely charge and properly store and dispose of batteries.
Tips on how to use lithium-ion batteries safely:
• Keep the lithium-ion battery in sight while charging.
• Never tamper with or modify a battery.
• Only use certified, manufacturer-approved batteries.
• Stop using the lithium-ion battery and contact the manufacturer if there are any of the following problem signs.
- Odour
- Change in colour
- Too much heat
- Change in shape
- Leaking
- Odd noises
• Dispose of old or damaged batteries at a City Drop-off Depot or at a Community Environment Day.
Visit the City’s lithium-ion Battery webpage to learn more about the campaign and lithium-ion battery fire safety: www.toronto.ca/LithiumBattery.
Quote:
“Lithium-ion batteries are commonplace for us all as they are in use in a wide variety of devices that are part of our daily lives, such as e-scooters and e-bikes. This modern convenience is coupled with the risk of devastating fires. Today, in partnership with the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office and the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs, we launch a new fire safety campaign to educate on the potential hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries and empower residents in Toronto and across the province with the knowledge to safeguard themselves, their property, and others.”
– Matthew Pegg, Chief, Toronto Fire Services
