Round Lake Beach Residents Need to Know

Candles can create a festive atmosphere for any occasion, but they can also cause fire damage. Our local team in Northwest Lake County offers these candle safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association: 

• Blow out all candles when you leave the room or go to bed. Avoid the use of candles in the bedroom and other areas where people may fall asleep. 
• Keep candles at least 1 foot away from anything that can burn 
• Use candle holders that are sturdy and won’t tip over easily 
• Put candle holders on a sturdy, uncluttered surface Light candles carefully, and keep your hair and any loose clothing away from the flame 

• Don’t burn a candle all the way down — put it out before it gets too close to the holder or container 
• Never use a candle if oxygen is used in the home 
• Have flashlights and battery-powered lighting ready to use during a power outage. Never use candles. 
• Think about using flameless candles in your home. They look and smell like real candles.
