DENVER (KDVR) — School district officials are warning students against a social media trend directing them to short-circuit their school-issued laptops after multiple fires were reported in recent weeks.

Officials say it's all part of a social media trend where videos show students how to short-circuit their laptop or puncture the lithium batteries. The short-circuit or puncture causes the battery's temperature to rise uncontrollably, which can lead to a fire or explosion. It also releases toxic fumes.

The farewell tour is appropriately named after The Who's 1971 classic "The Song Is Over."
