Candle Safety Tips

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), between 2014 and 2018, United States fire departments responded to over 7610 fires started by candles. SERVPRO® of Kailua responds to fire damage emergencies throughout the year in Kahuku, and we witness firsthand the damage even a small fire can cause. Here are some candle safety tips from the NFPA:

• Blow out all candles when you leave the room or go to bed
• Avoid the use of candles in the bedroom and other areas where people may fall asleep
• Keep candles at least one foot away from anything that can burn
• Use candle holders that are sturdy, and won’t tip over easily
• Put candle holders on a sturdy, uncluttered surface
• Light candles carefully. Keep your hair and any loose clothing away from the flame
• Don’t burn a candle all the way down — put it out before it gets too close to the holder or container
• Never use a candle if oxygen is used in the home
• Have flashlights and battery-powered lighting ready to use during a power outage. Never use candles.
