Candle
Safety Tips
.... Only burn candles when they can be kept
under constant, adult supervision.
.... Keep candles at least 12 inches from
anything that can burn, away from
flammable liquids, and away from spots where they could
be knocked over.
.... Use a flashlight, not a candle, for
emergency lighting.
.... Make certain the candle holder is big
enough to collect dripping wax.
.... Extinguish taper & pillar candles within
two inches of holder AND votives & filled
candles before the last half inch of wax starts to
melt.
.... Never use a candle for light when checking pilot lights or fueling
equipment such
as a kerosene heater or lantern. The flame
may ignite the fumes.
