Please observe these safety tips to keep Halloween trick-or-treating safe and fun:
Choose a costume without long trailing fabric. This can cause a
child to trip or may touch flames in jack-o’-lanterns or other
decorations.
If you make your own costume, use materials that won’t catch on fire easily if they come in contact with heat or flame.
Give your children flashlights or glow sticks so they can see where they are walking.
Keep decorations away from candles, light bulbs or heaters.
Consider using flameless candles or glow sticks in your jack-o’-lantern.
Keep exits to your home unobstructed and clear of decorations.
Never let children go trick or treating unsupervised.
Stay in familiar neighborhoods.
Never enter a stranger’s home, even if invited.
Don’t let your children eat unwrapped candy or treats.
