At DiFoggio Electric we stay current with advancements in electrical technologies and in specific related industries. In fact, we’re members of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Understanding the new technologies and safety is job one. So, this story from the Dept. of Fire Services Mass Fire Academy on lithium ion batteries caught my eye. www.difoggioelectric.com #skilledtrades #vocationaleducation #luxuryhomebuilders #constructionprojectmanagement #facilitymanagement
Thanks to local fire investigators and the Massachusetts State Police Fire Investigation Unit, our new #LithiumIonBattery Fire Investigative Checklist has identified 50 Li-ion fires across Massachusetts in the past six months. That's more than twice as many as previous reporting methods caught in an entire year. Visit https://ow.ly/Fxi650Rilb4 for preliminary findings and safety tips.

Yet another deadly mass casualty attack with an edged weapon. One of many examples that can be helpful to help those who question how easy it can be to carry out a mass casualty attack with edged weapons understand the danger. While more prevalent in countries with very strict laws prohibiting the ownership of firearms, they also occur in the U.S. and must be considered in violence prevention and emergency preparedness efforts. While rarely garnering national media attention, my experience has been that non-fatal and single victim homicides are much more common on U.S. K12 school campuses than shootings. While fatality rates are higher for shootings, edged weapons violence is unforgettable to those of us who have survived edged weapons attacks as students. #activeassailant #schoolsecurity #schoolsafety

With New Years Eve just days away, remember that 9-1-1 is NOT the number to call to report illegal fireworks. Calling 9-1-1 for illegal fireworks could cause delays for someone who needs immediate emergency assistance from police, fire, or medical responder. Instead, call your local non-emergency number for police, sheriff or fire. Call or text 9-1-1 ONLY for life threatening emergencies. Call if you can, Text if you can't. #newyears #fireworks #fireworksafety #ghc911 #newyearseve #illegalfireworks #safetyfirst #911saveslives
