This week and next will no doubt see an increase in candle use. Flameless battery powered candles aside I want everyone to remember that candles, when lit, are an open flame and can be dangerous if not used properly. With that in mind, I would ask that you take a moment to watch and listen to the below presentation on Candle Safety.
I am also including a link here: Candle Safety to a safety tip sheet that covers basically the same information for your review.
I wish all of you a Happy and SAFE Holiday season!
