Halloween Safety Tips From Cal Fire

If your children will be out at night for trick-or-treating, Cal Fire suggests you use the following tips to keep them safe.

• use only flame retardant costumes
• add reflective tape to clothes
• keep hemlines short enough to avoid tripping
• use makeup rather than masks to avoid vision reduction
• don't use candles in jack o' lanterns. Use battery powered lights instead.
• watch out for children while you are driving at night. They may not be watching out for you.
• remove obstacles such as hoses from your yard, so people don't trip
• inspect all candy before children eat it
• keep all ornaments and clothing away from heat sources.
