Hazard Alert & Poster: Safe Storage for Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles are no longer a novelty in municipal operations. They are now routinely stored in fleet yards, parking structures, and garages across Colorado. When managed thoughtfully, EVs can be stored safely. However, storage location, environmental conditions, and vehicle density can quietly elevate fire, explosion, and environmental risks if not addressed in advance.
Unlike conventional vehicle fires, incidents involving lithium-ion batteries require different handling and additional planning. View the Hazard Alert for more information on how to properly store your electric vehicles and mitigate your risk.

Hazard Alert & Poster: Pre- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals widely used in industry and consumer products since the 1940s. Known for their resistance to heat, water, and oil, PFAS are found in items like food packaging, nonstick cookware, firefighting foams, water- and stain-resistant textiles, and personal care products such as shampoos, dental floss, and makeup. However, their production and use have led to environmental contamination.
Read our Hazard Alert for more information about how PFAS are used, the risks involved, and initiatives taken to combat PFAS pollution.
