The
latest data from the United States Fire Administration shows that there are
10,300 fires during the there-day period around Halloween. These fires cause
about 25 deaths, 125 injuries and $83 million in property loss.
Let us help each of you be safer
during Halloween by sharing a few fire safety tips:
• Choose a costume without long
trailing fabric. This can cause a child to trip or may touch flames in
jack-o’-lanterns or other decorations.
• If you make your own costume, use
materials that won’t catch on fire easily if they come in contact with heat or
flame.
• Give your children flashlights or
glow sticks so they can see where they are walking
• Keep decorations away from candles,
light bulbs or heaters.
• Consider using flameless candles or
glow sticks in your jack-o’-lantern.
• Keep exits clear of decorations.
