The Madrid City Hall Fire Brigade, located in Spain, is a career department comprised of 1,500 members. They are proud to bring awareness of the 2023 Safety Stand Down to Spain to increase citizens’ knowledge about lithium-ion batteries and the unique risks they pose.
The department hopes to inform their community about how quickly the smoke from a lithium-ion battery fire can evolve and spread – which is why it’s essential to have high-functioning smoke detectors that can detect smoke and gases early.
This initiative fits in with the department’s ongoing efforts to increase community safety through innovative smoke alarm technology as well as fire prevention and life safety efforts that include building inspections and producing accident prevention guides for the elderly.
