Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!! Although Halloween and other holidays may feel a little different this year, we are hoping you and your loved ones are still able to celebrate and have fun in a safe way! Aside from health safety, we are here to share some important fire safety tips for you on Halloween!

• Ensure that any decorations such as hay bails or dried corn stalks are away from open flames or any light fixtures including open light bulbs, string lights, etc. 
• Consider switching flames our for LEDs. There are a TON of faux candles/flame options available and they are a much safer alternative! 
• While your costume is likely not flame resistant, it is important to be aware of the details of your costume including long strings, tassels, tails, etc. that may easily catch fire if near one. If this does happen, make sure to stop, drop & roll! 
• If having a bonfire, make sure that you are a safe standing distance, there are no low over hanging branches, and ensure you have a safety plan incase of any accidents. 

As always, we are Here to Help and want to make sure you and yours have a fun holiday weekend! Happy Halloween from your friend at SERVPRO of Queen Anne's, Kent & Caroline Counties.
