🍀🚒 Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Tomball Fire Rescue! 🚒🍀

Whether you’re celebrating with family, friends, or enjoying a little Irish spirit, we want to remind everyone to keep safety at the end of your rainbow 🌈

A little luck goes a long way—but preparation goes even further:
• Test your smoke alarms – working alarms save lives
• Never leave cooking unattended (especially holiday meals)
• Celebrate responsibly – if you drink, don’t drive 🍀🚫
• Keep decorations and candles away from anything flammable
• Have a plan – make sure your family knows how to get out safely

We want everyone in our community to enjoy a fun and safe holiday. Don’t rely on luck—make safety part of your celebration.

From all of us at Tomball Fire Rescue, we wish you a safe, happy, and lucky St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Thank you for donating to our local blood supply, Tomball!

On Wednesday, Oct. 15, the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center collected 20 units of blood from 19 donors during their quarterly blood drive, hosted at Tomball Fire Station #1.

Every unit collected supports patients in need across our region, and we’re incredibly grateful for everyone who makes a difference through donation. We're already looking forward to the next blood drive in January!

Don’t toss lithium-ion batteries or devices in the trash or regular recycling bins—they can start a fire. Drop them off at a legit battery recycling spot —it’s safer and way better for the planet. Visit call2recycle.org to find a drop-off location near you. Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week.

Anything with a lithium-ion battery—phones, laptops, e-bikes, power tools—can become a fire hazard if it’s not charged safely. Always use the charger that came with the device or one approved by the manufacturer. If the cord only works when you bend it just right, it’s time to replace it.

Charging something big like an e-bike, scooter, or power tool with a lithium-ion battery? Do it outside. Use a flat, dry area away from direct sunlight, anything wet, kids, or tripping hazards. And make sure your bike or device is secure—so it doesn’t fall while charging. Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week.

Charge any lithium-ion battery device on a hard surface—never on your bed, couch, or under a pillow. And don’t overcharge. Once it’s at 100%, unplug and move on. Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week.

Before you buy anything with a lithium-ion battery, do your homework. Check the packaging and product for a mark from a nationally recognized testing lab—that stamp means it meets real safety standards. A lot of products sold online and in stores don’t, and that can seriously increase your risk of fire. Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week.
