- Halloween is meant to be spooky and fun but it's also important to keep it safe for your children, your friends and yourself.
- Flames can consume a simple ghost costume made from an ordinary bed sheet if ignited. Purchase only flame-retardant costumes and masks. Be sure costumes fit properly to prevent tripping and falling. Masks should allow full vision.
- Instead of a candle to light a jack-o-lantern, use a small flashlight or a liquid light that glows for several hours after you bend it. If you do use a candle, votive candles are safest for that purpose. Lighted pumpkins should be placed on a sturdy table, away from curtains or other flammable objects, and should never be left unattended.
- Haunted house operators should be careful not to block exits for fire escape and emergency lighting systems must remain in operable condition.
- Keep your pets away from areas with lots of activity. Halloween can be great for children but stressful on your pets.
- Drivers should go slower in areas where trick-or-treaters are walking and adult partygoers should have a designated driver
