Halloween should be scary for the right reasons: haunted houses, spooky movie nights, and cool costumes. Keep a day full of sweet treats from going sour. It’s important to stay alert and be a safe pedestrian when trick-or-treating. Head to https://safekids.org/tip/halloween-safety-tips to learn more!

Be Safe Be Seen This Halloween! Wear bright/reflective clothing and carry glow sticks or flashlights.

10/24/2026

Here's a scary statistic: Children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween than on any other day of the year. Lack of visibility because of low lighting at night also plays a factor in these incidents.
Give children (and adults!) a flashlight or glow stick to help them be seen more easily as it gets darker outside. Use reflective strips on costumes to help.

Did you know? The most dangerous part of the school bus ride is getting on and off!
When drivers ignore extended stop-arms and flashing red lights, they put kids at risk. This , remind each other that it is best practice to always stop if there’s a school bus.

This , remember that cooking is a leading cause of reported home fires, home fire injuries, and home fire deaths. Cooking with kids nearby is tricky, and we have some tips to make it safer:
📏 Keep a 3-foot kid-free zone around the stove
⏰ Use a timer or alarm to remind yourself frequently to check on anything that is baking or simmering
🚫 Don’t carry or hold a child when you’re cooking on the stove

Electric bicycles and electric scooters, or e-bikes and e-scooters, are more popular than ever. These devices give riders a lower-cost and environmentally friendly way of getting around. But, unknown to many users, the batteries that power e-bikes and e-scooters have also been known to catch on fire and cause explosions.
There are a few ways to reduce the risk of fires involving e-bikes and e-scooters. First, if you are looking to buy one of these devices, only purchase ones that are listed by a nationally recognized testing lab and labeled accordingly. If you already own or use a device, don’t continue to charge the battery once it’s full, never use charging equipment that didn’t come with your device, and stop using your device if the battery shows signs of damage, such as an unusual odor or change in color. If your device needs repairs, have them performed by a qualified professional.

When putting babies to sleep, make sure they sleep safely by following these tips every night and every nap:
🏠 Share your room with your baby, but not your bed. Most sleep-related deaths occur when babies sleep with an adult or another child, or in an adult bed, or on a sofa.
👶 The safest position for a baby to sleep is on their back. Babies are not more likely to choke while laying on their backs.
😴 Your baby’s sleeping place should be clean and clear. No blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, Boppy, or crib bumpers. Just a tight-fitting sheet on a firm mattress.
🚫 Keep smoke away from your baby– no ci******es, ma*****na, or va**ng in your home. Smoke of any kind can cause SIDS and breathing problems in babies.

Swaddles, sleep sacks, and wearable blankets can be a helpful part of a bed/naptime routine. Since blankets or pillows or other items in a crib can be a suffocation risk, swaddles and sleep sacks (wearable blankets) help promote safe sleep!
Just remember that not every product that is marketed for safe sleep is actually safe, even if it is sold in stores or online. For example, weighted sleepwear is not safe for infant sleep. You should also always check to see if a product has ever been recalled before purchase, which you can do here: https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls
