Candles

December is the peak month for candle fires.

  • Blow out candles when you leave the room or go to sleep.
  • Keep candles at least 12 inches from anything that can burn.
  • Use sturdy holders that won't tip over.
  • Consider flameless LED candles: they look great and can't start a fire.
  • Never use candles during a power outage; use flashlights.

In an emergency, always call 911.
