House on fire. House on fire.

As Halloween approaches, it’s important to keep fire safety top of mind to ensure a safe and fun celebration.

Many Halloween decorations, such as candles in pumpkins or outdoor lighting, can pose a fire hazard if not properly managed. Here’s how to stay fire-safe during your Halloween celebrations:

  • Opt for Battery-Operated Candles: Instead of using real candles in jack-o'-lanterns, use LED candles to eliminate the fire risk.
  • Keep Decorations Away from Open Flames: Make sure that decorations, costumes, and anything flammable is kept far away from candles, fireplaces, and other sources of open flame.
  • Check Your Smoke Alarms: Ensure all smoke alarms are working properly before hosting any fall gatherings. Replace batteries if necessary.
  • Be Cautious with Electrical Decorations: Inspect all lights and electrical decorations for frayed wires, and avoid overloading outlets.
