Halloween is a fun time of year.  Make sure your little monsters are safe!

• Use battery-operated candles or glow-sticks in jack-o-lanterns.  If you use real candles use extreme caution.  Be sure lit pumpkins are far way from anything that can burn
• Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes
• Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper can catch fire easily.  Keep all decorations away from open flames and heat sources
• Provide children with flashlights or glow-sticks as part of their costume
• When choosing costumes, stay away from long trailing fabric.  If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough so they can see out

Have a safe, happy and spooky Halloween from SERVPRO of Norwich and Windham County!
