Halloween Safety
• When choosing a costume, stay away from long trailing fabric. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough so he or she can see out. • Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume. • Use a battery-operated candle or glow-stick in jack-o-lanterns. • Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes. • Make sure all smoke alarms in the home are working. • Tell children to stay away from open flames including jack-o-lanterns with candles in them. Be sure they know how to stop, drop and roll if their clothing catches fire. • Have adults around at all times.
