Candles bring warmth and charm to holiday festivities but can also be a fire risk if not used carefully. Always place candles on sturdy, heat-resistant surfaces away from flammable materials like curtains, decorations, or paper.

Keep them out of reach of pets and children, and avoid placing candles in high-traffic areas where they can be easily knocked over. Never leave candles unattended, and extinguish them before leaving the room or going to bed. For added safety, use candle holders that shield the flame or flameless LED candles.

If you’re using traditional candles, opt for those with self-extinguishing wicks, which are designed to reduce fire risks. In homes with a high volume of holiday decorations, the extra precaution of flameless candles can keep everyone safe.

Finally, keep a fire extinguisher nearby, particularly during holiday gatherings, and remind guests of safe candle practices. These simple candle safety steps protect your home from potential fires and ensure that your holiday gatherings remain warm, cozy, and safe for everyone.
