Remember these important safety points when using candles;

• Place candles in sturdy, non-combustible containers.
• Keep candles well away from decorations and other combustible materials.
• Check candles frequently to make sure they have not burned down too far.
• Don’t leave children unattended in a room with lit candles.
• Don’t display candles in windows or near exits in case you need to use these to escape.
• NEVER use lit candles to decorate Christmas trees.

Exercise good home safety practices;

• Do not overload electrical systems with Christmas lighting.
• Do not burn gift wrapping in fireplaces or wood stoves.
• When cooking, keep handles of pots and pans turned inward so they will not be pulled or knocked off the stove.
• Store combustible materials away from heat sources.
• Recycle Christmas trees.  Never burn them in fireplaces or wood stoves

Happy Holidays!
