Put candles out if the flame becomes unusually large.
Never let a candle burn down to the bottom.
Secure candles on non-combustible holders that won't tip over.
Do not place lit candles in windows where blinds or curtains may close over them, and don't use them in places where children or pets could knock them over.
Snuff candles out when leaving the room or going to sleep. Do not allow older children to light candles in their bedrooms - a forgotten candle is all it takes to start a fire.
