Candle Safety Tips
We use candles in many ways. Often, they are used to enhance the ambiance of a special celebration or some other special event. These beautiful tiny lights can become a dangerous fire hazard if not handled properly.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), candle fires caused $278 million in property damage between 2014 and 2018.
