Use candles with care
Never leave lit candles unattended or in rooms with children.
Always use candleholders, or place candles on non-flammable surfaces.
Keep candles away from curtains, towels and other materials that could burn.
Watch that cigarette
Always use an ashtray and make sure all cigarettes are out completely.
Never smoke in bed.
Close doors
To rooms not in use. This could help contain the spread of a fire.
One socket, one plug
Don’t overload electrical sockets.
Use an approved power strip equipped with overload circuit protection.
Turn it off
Check TVs, VCRs and other appliances. Often a power switch only puts them
into standby mode. If they won’t be used for awhile, unplug them at the wall.
