There’s a significant gap between how people think fire spreads and how it actually does.
This PSA from the FSRI shows just how quickly an e-bike (lithium-ion battery-powered device) fire can escalate from the first sign of smoke— and it caught people’s attention.
Once a lithium-ion battery-powered device goes into thermal runaway, things escalate quickly leaving little time to escape. Device choices, charging habits, and awareness matter.

It was a really busy day! Thank you to our amazing partners with the Sterling Volunteer Rescue Squad and our career partners with Loudoun County Fire and Rescue. We hope everyone had fun and learned some things about fire safety during their visit! If you'd like to find out what it takes to be a volunteer, visit us at joinsterlingfire.org
