• Candles must be used in sturdy metal, glass or ceramic holders where they cannot be knocked down
• Keep out of reach of children. Children never should play with matches, lighters or candles

• Never sleep, or leave the house with a candle burning. Never leave a candle unattended

Working Together for Home Fire Safety

• Have a working Smoke Alarm on every level of your home. Remember to change batteries 2x a year with the time change
   

• Never overload electrical circuits or extension cords

• I.E. do not plug in an electric heater in the same circuit as your home computer system
   

• Keep clothes, curtains and other potentially combustible items three feet from all heaters
   

• Plan your escape route and practice it

SAFETY REMINDERS

• SAFETY TIP: Practice using your smoke alarm with everyone sleeping to ensure the location is appropriate for all to hear
   

• NEVER cook with pot handles extended outward. Point them inward so that little children cannot reach up and touch them
   

• NEVER allow children to play around space heaters, irons, hair dryers, etc
   

• Fireplace Owners: Have your chimney cleaned annually
