Candles:

• Keep candles at least 12 inches from anything that can burn.
• Use sturdy, safe candleholders.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Extinguish candles when you leave a room.
• Be careful not to splatter wax when extinguishing a candle.
• Avoid using candles in bedrooms and sleeping areas.
• Always use a flashlight, not a candle, for emergency lighting.
• Consider using battery-operated flameless candles.
