Halloween is meant to be spooky and fun but it’s also important to keep it safe for your children, friends and yourself. Below are a few safety tip to practice for Halloween!

• Use glow sticks or battery-operated candles for jack-o’-lanterns and other Halloween decorations.
• When choosing costumes, stay away from long trailing fabric.
• Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume.
• Teach children to stay away from open flames, including jack-o’-lanterns with candles in them.
• Keep Halloween decorations away from open flames and other heat sources, such as light bulbs and heaters.
• Remember to keep exits clear of decorations so nothing blocks escape routes. Make sure all smoke alarms are working.

Stay safe and have a fun time trick-or-treating!
