Halloween is one of the most anticipated holidays for many kids and adults.<\/p>\n

Be smart with your Halloween activities this year to avoid fire damage and the need for fire damage restoration<\/a> in your Uniontown, PA, home.<\/p>\n

From 2011-2013 there were an estimated 10,300 fires reported to fire departments in the United States around Halloween that caused about 25 deaths, 125 injuries, and $83 million in property loss.<\/p>\n

The most common causes of Halloween fires tend to be related to cooking, (44%), heating (15%), accidental actions (7%), open flame (6%), electrical malfunction from decorations or haunted houses (6%), and intentional stupid actions (5%). Keep your family and home safe this Halloween!<\/p>\n

Fire safety tips for Halloween:<\/a><\/p>\n

Choose costumes wisely –<\/strong> make sure that they aren\u2019t too long so the fabric or material can\u2019t catch on fire, and that any masks have big enough eye holes so the person can see out<\/p>\n

Provide lighting <\/strong>– glow sticks or flashlights are a good idea for kids\/people to carry at all times<\/p>\n

Keep all decorations away from any open flames –<\/strong> dried flowers, cornstalks, and crepe paper can catch fire easily<\/p>\n

Use battery-operated candles or glow sticks<\/strong> – to light up those spooky jack-o-lanterns!\u00a0 If you choose to use real candles, practice extreme caution! Keep away from children, walkways, doorsteps, and grass.<\/p>\n

Keep exits and walkways clear – <\/strong>do not have any decorations blocking walkways and plan an escape route if a fire should ignite<\/p>\n

Check smoke alarms <\/strong>– and make sure that they have batteries and are working properly<\/p>\n
