Firefighter insights and warnings
Firefighters warn that charging phones in bed is a recipe for disaster. They have responded to numerous incidents in which phones have overheated and caught fire, causing significant property damage and posing serious risks to personal safety. Firefighters emphasize the importance of charging phones on hard, flat surfaces where heat can dissipate freely. They also recommend using chargers that meet safety standards and avoiding the use of damaged cables.
