three candles for Candle Fire Safety Week

Candle Fire Safety Week, observed annually in November, raises awareness about the dangers of using candles and promotes safe practices to prevent candle-related fires. With candles being a popular feature in homes for decoration, scent, and relaxation, it’s crucial to understand the risks they pose when left unattended or placed near flammable objects.

The campaign focuses on educating the public about safe candle use, such as keeping candles away from curtains, ensuring they are placed on stable, heat-resistant surfaces, and never leaving them unattended. Candle Fire Safety Week also highlights the importance of using appropriate holders and extinguishing candles properly before leaving the room or going to bed.

By promoting these simple yet effective safety measures, Candle Fire Safety Week aims to reduce the number of house fires caused by candles and protect individuals, homes, and pets from the potentially devastating consequences of fire.
