Were approaching several major holidays where candles and decorations play an important and symbolic role in the celebrations. The fire chiefs want to advise everyone that although the candle flame is small and can easily be extinguished, there is extreme danger when they are misused. The NFPA reports that nearly 70% of fires started from candles are in the bedroom or living room of a home. Another remarkable statistic is that 85% of all candle fires are a result of misuse by the consumer. |
