Are you candle aware?

Hmm.. the smell of a sweet candle, there is nothing like it.

 If you are anything like me, during the holidays I love the smell of a burning candle.  Heck, it doesn't even have to be a holiday, I just like to light the candle and enjoy the sweet aroma it brings into my home.  But as someone who loves the smells, I also know that there is a lot of precautions I must take to keep my family and home safe.  While candles may be pretty to look at, they are a cause of home fires and home deaths.

 If you burn candles, make sure that you..

•  Use a sturdy candle holder, make sure it won't tip over easily.
• Place the candle holder on a sturdy and uncluttered surface.
• If oxygen is used in home, DO NOT USE A CANDLE!
• During a power outage, never use a candle.
• Keep your hair and any loose clothing away from flame when lighting.
