Wishing Parker families a Happy Halloween!

Each year decorations are the first thing to ignite in about 800 reported home fires each year. SERVPRO^® of Denver West offers these tips for Halloween safety from the National Fire Protection Association:

• When choosing a costume, stay away from long trailing fabric
• Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume
• Dried flowers, cornstalks, and crepe paper catch fire easily. Keep all decorations away from open flames and other heat sources like light bulbs and heaters.
• Use a battery-operated candle or glow-stick in jack-o-lanterns. If you use a real candle, use extreme caution. Make sure children are watched at all times when candles are lit. When lighting candles inside jack-o-lanterns, use long, fireplace-style matches or a utility lighter. Be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from anything that can burn and far enough out of the way of trick-or-treaters, doorsteps, walkways, and yards.
• Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes
• Make sure all smoke alarms in the home are working
• Tell children to stay away from open flames, including jack-o-lanterns with candles in them. Be sure they know how to stop, drop and roll if their clothing catches fire
