Halloween Safety Tips from the
New London Fire Marshal’s Office
Costumes
Children should carry a flashlight.
Be sure all parts of costumes are labeled fire retardant
Receiving Trick-or-treaters
Make sure your house is well lit and that there is a clear path to your door.
Fireworks
Firecrackers, cherry bombs, and party poppers cause many injuries and fires on Halloween. These are dangerous and should not be used by children.
Besides the physical dangers and fire hazards, Fireworks (other than sparklers) are illegal in Connecticut.
Decorations
Use small flameless tea lights in pumpkins instead of candles.
Keep dried leaves and cornstalks away from all flames and heat sources.
Change your clock, Change your battery
