WH Security would like to share some Halloween safety tips to help keep you and your family safe while trick-or-treating.
- Candles are a common cause of house fires every year. Use battery-operated candles or glow sticks in your jack-o-lanterns to show off your carving skills on Halloween night.
- If you choose to light your pumpkins with candles, be sure to place the lit pumpkins away from anything that can burn, and out of the way of trick-or-treaters that will be walking along your driveway and sidewalk.
- Make sure costumes aren’t too big or loose as that could lead to tripping and could make them easier to catch on fire if they walk close to a candle-lit jack-or-lantern.
- Make sure children know how to stop, drop and roll if their clothing catches fire and have them practice.
- While wandering the street, provide children with flashlights or glow sticks so they can be easily seen by others, including those driving along the road.
More than anything, have fun taking youngsters trick-or-treating and put your mind at ease knowing that your WH Security system is helping protect your home while you are away.
