Halloween Safety Tips 🎃 Use glow sticks or battery-operated candles for jack-o’-lanterns and other Halloween decorations. 👻 When choosing costumes, stay away from long trailing fabric. 🔦 Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume. 🔥Teach children to stay away from open flames, including jack-o’-lanterns with candles in them. 🔌 Keep Halloween decorations away from open flames and other heat sources, such as light bulbs and heaters. 🏠 Remember to keep exits clear of decorations so nothing blocks escape routes. Make sure all smoke alarms are working.

☠️ Carbon monoxide, also known as CO, is called the “invisible killer” because it's a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. It is undetectable to the human senses, so people may not know that they are being exposed. 💥 CO poisoning can occur when a fuel-burning appliance or machine, such as a furnace, heater or generator, is not working or vented properly. 😤 Breathing in CO at high levels can be fatal. More than 150 people in the United States die every year from accidental nonfire-related CO. 🚨 Install CO alarms in a central location outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of your home.
