Office of the Fire Marshal

The Ontario Office of the Fire Marshal is seeing an alarming trend across schools and social media: students tampering with Chromebook batteries as part of a viral “challenge.”

What may look like harmless joke for views can quickly turn into a dangerous situation. Overheating. Fire. Real damage.

This is about more than just tech misuse. It’s about giving young people the tools to recognize fire risks before they reach a crisis point.

Talk to your kids and students about lithium battery safety

Monitor emerging online trends in your schools

Encourage critical thinking and digital literacy

Because the most powerful prevention often starts with a conversation.
