How does a little flame become so dangerous? More than 33 % of candle fires occurred when the candles were left unattended or abandoned. Roughly 25 % of the fires occurred because something combustible such as curtains or paper was too close to the flame. Half the
people killed by candle fires in the home were younger than 20, with most of the victims between the ages of 5 and 9.

Candles should always be placed out of reach of children and don’t allow teens to have candles in their bedrooms. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, DO NOT USE CANDLES TO LIGHT YOUR HOME. One-third of the people killed in candle fires were using them for light due to no power.
Be prepared by having flashlights and batteries available in your home.
