Snuff out deadly candle fires

Fires caused by candles are on the rise! In fact, candle fires in Ontario have increased by 47 per cent from 1995 to 2001. Here are a few candle-safety guidelines to help keep your home free of candle fires:

  • Never leave candles burning unattended.
  • Always snuff out candles before leaving the room or going to bed.
  • Keep candles out of the reach of children, animals and flammable material.
  • Whenever possible, place a glass chimney over the candles.
