The Office of the State Fire Marshal is alerting the public to a social media trend where students are inserting electrically conductive objects into the charging ports of school-issued and personal electronic devices, resulting in fires, smoke and property damage. As of May 5, authorities have documented multiple instances of what is being called the “Chromebook Challenge”. Acting State Fire Marshal Jason M. Mowbray urges parents and school officials to prioritize safety, awareness and prevention.
