Be sure you blow candles out when you leave a room or home, or when you go
to bed. Never light candles if you are tired and might fall asleep.

When you use candles, place them in a sturdy, safe candle holder that will not burn
or tip over. Consider using battery-operated flameless candles.

Candles may be pretty to look at but they are a cause of home
fires — and home fire deaths. Remember, a candle is an open flame, which means that it can easily ignite anything that can burn.
Think about using flameless candles in your home. They look
and smell like real candles. Never leave a child alone in a room with a burning candle. Keep matches and lighters up high and out of
children’s reach, in a locked cabinet.

Winter Holiday Safety

Winter holidays are a time for families and friends to get together.
But that also means a greater risk for fire. Before heading out or going to bed. Blow out lit candles when you leave the room or go to bed. Turn off all light strings and decorations before leaving home or going to bed.
