Candle Safety Week

Fire and Rescue Services across the country are asking people to take care this Candle Fire Safety Week and snuff out the risk of fire in their homes. With the days growing darker and winter setting in, a few candles scattered round the room can lend a warm glow to an evening in or add some festive cheer to the season’s celebrations such as Halloween, Guy Fawkes’ night, Eid and Christmas. But with over fifty fires started by candles every day, the Fire Kills Campaign is asking people to take extra care with candles this winter.
