Halloween is such a fun time for kids! We want to make sure they have the SAFEST night possible while experiencing this exciting time of the year! :)
Here are a few Halloween Fire Safety Tips:
*When choosing a costume, stay away from billowing or long trailing fabric. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough so they can see out.
*Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow-sticks as part of their costume.
* Dried flowers and cornstalk are highly flammable. Be sure to keep these items and any other decorations away from all open flames and heat sources.
* It is safest to use a flashlight or battery-operated candle in a jack-o-lantern, rather than a real candle.
* Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes.
* Tell children to STAY AWAY from any and all open flames! Be sure they know how to STOP, DROP, & ROLL if their clothes or costumes were to catch fire.
* Lastly, HAVE FUN!!!!
