"Reducing the risk"
• Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when
you leave the room or go to bed. Almost half of all home fires started by
candles begin in the bedroom. NFPA discourages 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 includ-
ing curtains, blinds, wallpaper, clothing or any other material that can
catch fire.
• Don't place lit candles in windows or near doorways where drafts could
bring combustibles in contact with the flame.
• Keep candles away from flammable liquids.
"Candle with Care"
• Use candle holders that are sturdy, won't tip over easily, are made from a
material that can't burn, and are large enough to collect dripping wax.
• Place candle holders on a sturdy, uncluttered surface—away from edges
and any place where they could be knocked over by kids or pets.
• Light candles carefully. Keep your hair and any loose clothing away from
the flame.
• Keep candle wicks trimmed to one-quarter inch.
• Extinguish candles when they burn down to within two inches of their
holder or any decorative material.
• Extinguish candles carefully, using a long -handled candle snuffer or a
soft, directed breath. Be careful not to splatter wax when extinguishing. Do
not leave the room until wicks have stopped glowing.
