The London Fire Department wants everyone to be safe this Saturday (Oct. 31), from the trick-or-treaters who haunt the streets to the family in the decorated home.

Officials with LFD are encouraging everyone to take a few minutes to focus on safety when considering costumes, decorating, and trick-or-treating this year.

People often use lots of candles when decorating their home for Halloween. Whenever real candles are used, there is an increased risk of fire.

Battery operated candles and flashing lights are the safest. If you must use candles, keep them safely out of reach of children and pets and away from anything that can burn. Candles should never be left unattended.

Keep family and friends safe by ensuring that costumes are bright and reflective and accompany children when they go trick-or-treating.

There are many safety risks associated with Halloween. To ensure that everyone has a fire-safe Halloween, the fire service has developed a Halloween Safety Tips sheet that provides important safety information for children, adults and the entire family.

The safety tips sheet can be downloaded from the London Fire Department website (see link).
