Easter Candle Safety

4/11/2022 (Permalink)

It only takes seconds for an accident to happen. Make sure all obstacles are away from candles that could catch on fire.

Easter is around the corner! When you are preparing for the holidays, keep in mind the dangers that can come along with it. Every Easter, SERVPRO of Buffalo - Tonawanda responds to several homes for fire related incidents. An unattended candle fire is one of main causes of a home fire during the holidays. They smell pretty, set a vibe, and look pretty but that can quickly turn into a disaster. Candles can catch curtains, paper, decorations, and tables cloths on fire. It is always a clever idea to blow the candle out when you leave the room and house. In addition to a fire hazard, candles can cause carbon deposits throughout your home. The carbon and soot will appear where nail heads and framing lay. Be sure to be safe this holiday season. Happy Easter from your friends at SERVPRO of Buffalo - Tonawanda.
