🕯️ Candles may be pretty to look at and smell amazing… BUT they can also be a leading cause of home fires and home fire deaths.

Remember, a candle is an open flame and can easily ignite anything that can burn if it is placed too close.

🍂 Have fun decorating your home this fall, but don’t forget to practice fire safety!

Keep candles away from anything that can burn, never leave them unattended, and consider using flameless candles as a safer alternative.

🔥 Enjoy the season. Stay safe. Protect your home and family.

🔋 Safety Tip Tuesday 🔋

Lithium-ion batteries power many of the devices we use every day, from phones and laptops to e-bikes and electric vehicles. While they're convenient, they can become dangerous if they're damaged, overheated, or charged improperly.

A few simple habits can go a long way in helping keep your home and family safe. 🚒
