Spooky season is upon us, and we know how excited everyone is to carve pumpkins and decorate their homes. Here at SERVPRO we love a good pumpkin spice candle so here are a few fire safety tips to keep you safe this fall. Use caution when using candles. When using a candle never leave it unattended, and keep it in a spot away from curtains or furniture. Place your candle some where it won't easily be knocked over and always remember to trim the wick of your candle. Trimming the wick of your candle can keep the flame lower when you light the candle again. If you are using real candles in your jack-o-lanterns try to keep a safe distance from combustible items such as cornstalks and fabric.
