Halloween is a time for fun and spooky celebrations and activities, but it can also be a time for some truly scary fire safety hazards. As the holiday nears, take simple precautions that can help ensure the holiday remains fun and fire safe.

☑Use glow sticks or battery-operated candles for jack-o’-lanterns and other Halloween decorations.
☑When choosing costumes, stay away from long trailing fabric.
☑Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume.
☑Teach children to stay away from open flames, including jack-o’-lanterns with candles in them.
☑Keep Halloween decorations away from open flames and other heat sources, such as light bulbs and heaters.
☑Remember to keep exits clear of decorations so nothing blocks escape routes. Make sure all smoke alarms are working.

Hey Dayton! 👋

Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible. Do not block exits when charging. These batteries store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they fail.
