RELIGIOUS CANDLES SAFETY

Lit candles are used in religious services, in places of worship, and in the home.
Whether you are using one candle, or more than one on a candelabra, kinara, or
menorah, make sure you take a few moments to learn about using candles safely.

CANDLE SAFETY
◾Candles should be placed in a sturdy candle holder.
◽Handheld candles should not be passed from one
person to another at any time.
◾When lighting candles at a candle lighting service,
have the person with the unlit candle dip their
candle into the flame of the lit candle.
◽Lit candles should not be placed in windows where a
blind or curtain could catch fire.
◾Candles placed on, or near tables, altars, or shrines,
must be watched by an adult.
◽If a candle must burn continuously, be sure it is
enclosed in a glass container and placed in a sink, on a
metal tray, or in a deep basin filled with water.
GENERAL FIRE SAFETY


• Matches and lighters should be stored out of the reach
of children, in a locked cabinet.
• Places of worship should be equipped with a fire
detection and sprinkler system.
• A home should have smoke alarms on every level,
outside each sleeping area and inside each bedroom.
For the best protection, interconnect the alarms, so
when one sounds, they all sound. Test all smoke alarms
at least monthly by pushing the test button. Replace
smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.
• Plan and practice a home fire escape drill that
includes two ways out of every room and an outside
meeting place.
