Halloween home and community safety tips:

• Choose a costume that is bright, visible and without long trailing fabric that could catch flame
• Provide children with flashlights and/or glow sticks, so that passing cars can easily see them.
• Stick to the sidewalk. Do not jaywalk. Stay to one side of the street at a time.
• Have an adult or an older teenager accompany young children when trick-0r-treating.
• Keep all decorations away from open flames, especially dried flowers, crepe paper, cornstalks and hay bales.
• Use a battery-operated candle in your jack-o-lantern.
• Ensure your home’s exits remain visible and are clear of any obstruction by Halloween decorations.
• Ensure that any weapons included as part of a costume are easily identified as fake.
• If your child is wearing a mask, ensure that it does not block their vision or limit sightlines.
• Teach children to stop, drop, and roll if their costume catches fire.
• Test all smoke alarms in your home to ensure that they are functioning properly.
• Parents and guardians should check all candy before it is consumed by children. Any candy wrappers that have been damaged or tampered with should be discarded.
