🔥 A Concerning Trend: Rise in Fire Clearance Work 🔥 This year, we’ve noticed a significant increase in fire-related clearance work across homes and businesses. While we’re always here to help restore spaces, it’s heartbreaking to see the aftermath of fires. It makes us wonder if the rise in disposable vapes and e-cigarettes, which can easily overheat and catch fire, might be contributing to this trend. ⚠️ As the use of these items continues to grow, so does the risk they pose when not properly disposed of or charged safely. Stay safe and vigilant, and if you ever need us, we’re just a call away to help clear the damage. 💪 #FireClearance #StaySafe #PropertyRestoration #VapeSafety #HouseClearance #JustClear #ZeroToLandfill

🚨 REMINDER: keeping gas in your tank isn't just about not running out of gas - it's for your personal safety! Some people like to live on the edge and not fill up their tank again until they’ve been driving around with the warning light on for a while (you know who you are…😅). However, crime and suspicious activities (including being followed while driving) are sadly on the rise. If you find that you may be being followed, you will not be happy about your decision to not keep your tank at least a quarter to half-way full at all times. Ensuring that you have sufficient gas in your vehicle allows you to have one less thing to worry about when you are trying to get somewhere safe. And remember, DO NOT drive home when you believe you are being followed. Drive to the nearest police station! Be sure to share this! . . . #securityservices #securitycompany #edmonton #yeg #safetytips

19-year-old who was quarter mile away from fiery explosion killed by flying canister: Michigan officials The fiery #explosion was at a #vaping distributing company in Clinton Township. Clinton Township #Fire Chief Tim Duncan described it as a "tremendous amount of fire." "In my 25 years ... this, by far, was the biggest one that I've ever seen," Duncan told reporters Tuesday morning. The blast shook cars that were 1 to 2 miles away, officials said. The blast sent debris -- including blades -- flying into the air, officials said. The debris field was likely a half-mile in each direction, officials said. YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP! I had literally written about this in my article: “#Waste & #Recycling’s Frontline: A Toxicologist’s Perspective.” The materials we process at our waste and recycling facilities can present both physical and health hazards that range from minimal to severe. One hazard can be found in #batteries, which contain #gases that are highly flammable and #toxic. The materials we process at our waste and recycling facilities can present both physical and health hazards that range from minimal to severe. One hazard can be found in batteries, which contain gases that are highly flammable and toxic. The type of gas released depends on the battery chemistry involved but typically includes carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, methane, ethane and other hydrocarbons. In this month's article, we sit down with a career toxicologist to better understand what can be done to protect our frontline workers and fire professionals from the threats they face due to the materials they handle. Since I began working in this industry in 2015, I have had a concern I cannot get out of my head: The dangers of lithium-ion batteries, which can shoot shrapnel when they hit thermal runaway or explode. This very thing happened in the below video when a loader ran over an electric bike battery. Knowing this danger, why are companies selling lithium-ion battery-specific fire extinguishers where the person fighting the fire must be standing within mere feet of the hazard? Add to that the dangers of the potential toxic off-gas exposure when fighting a fire at a close distance. There is no scenario where I suggest standing within six feet of a hazard with a handheld fire extinguisher in an effort to fight a lithium-ion battery fire.
