Opt for battery powered candles instead of real candles when it comes to jack-o-lanterns this Halloween!

The fall season is in full swing here in Avondale and the rest of the Phoenix area! We have finally reached chilly temps (at least for us Phoenicians), which can only mean one thing. Yes, you guessed it! Halloween is just around the corner! Even though things may be a little different this year due to COVID, you are still able to celebrate safely in the comfort of your own home. SERVPRO of Avondale/Goodyear/Southwest Phoenix have put together some fire safety tips to make certain that you and your family are safe this Halloween!

Be Safe This Halloween

Be super careful when using candles. Be sure to place them away from items that can easily catch on fire. Position them on a stable surface to prevent them from accidentally being knocked over.

When it comes to carving jack-o-lanterns, opt for battery powered candles as opposed to the real deal. They last much longer, especially if you’re setting them outside.

Hanging spooky lights in and around your home for Halloween decorations can give you a spooky ambiance. Be sure to situate lights away from flammable fabrics and items such as gauze, crepe paper, and fake spiderwebs.

Most importantly, make sure you have planned escape routes in your home in the event of a fire possibly occurring. Also, make sure all smoke alarms in your home are working properly to ensure you and your family are safe.
