This year's National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) theme, [Charge Into Fire Safety™. Safe Charging Is a Superpower](https://www.nfpa.org/Events/Fire-Prevention-Week), focuses on everyday charging habits that help reduce the risk of lithium-ion battery fires. From phones and laptops to e-bikes and power tools, lithium-ion batteries power many of the devices residents use every day. Understanding how to charge them safely is an important part of fire prevention. To support your Fire Prevention Week activities, we're inviting HAI Group members to participate in our annual Fire Safety Poster Contest and sharing helpful HAI Group and NFPA resources. ## Inspire young residents through HAI Group's Fire Safety Poster Contest ![FPW-Social2026](https://blog.haigroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Programs_and_Contests/2026/Fire_Prevention_Week/FPW-Social2026.png?width=230&height=230&name=FPW-Social2026.png)The application period for [HAI Group's annual Fire Safety Poster Contest](https://blog.haigroup.com/hubfs/Programs_and_Contests/2026/Fire_Prevention_Week/2026-NFPA-FirePreventionWeekFlyer.pdf) is now open, offering member organizations a great opportunity to engage with young residents and educate their communities on fire safety.
