Candles Cause Over 7,000 House Fires a Year

Candles are responsible for thousands of house fires annually, most often in bedrooms and living rooms. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep them away from anything flammable, and consider switching to battery-operated flameless candles for a safer alternative.

Check Your Smoke Alarm Placement

Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of your home, inside every bedroom, and outside each sleeping area. Mount them on the ceiling or high on a wall, 6 to 8 inches below the ceiling. Avoid placing them near windows, doors, or ducts where drafts could interfere with their operation.
