Keep candles clear of clothes, curtains, cushions & things that burn easily. Put them out when you leave the room, go to bed or go out.

Consider battery operated candles. You get the same light effect without the risk from flames. -https://t.co/XzqEeoXxr3

Today our CSA Clark attended Castle Douglas High School for a multi agency youth work careers event, which had approximately 200 kids in attendance across the day. This was an excellent opportunity to promote Our new volunteer YVS Scheme. @YOUTHWORKDG @scotfire_DG

Place lit candles out of reach of children and pets. Make sure they can’t be knocked over by children or pets.

Using candles can increase fire risk. It’s much safer to look for brighter and safer alternatives. LED candles and lights, battery or wind-up torches are just some of the products that are safer to light your home.

[Scottish Fire and Rescue Service – Your Safety @SFRSYourSafety]

Any attack on a firefighter is totally unacceptable and can significantly impact our ability to keep communities safe

No one should go to work and be assaulted.

Respect those who keep us safe and help us to be there for our communities this Bonfire Night

[@DGfire.safety @DGfire_safety]

Avoid using candles if you are feeling tired or have been drinking alcohol. It’s easy to fall asleep and leave them lit. They can easily start a fire.

When using candles don’t forget how many you have lit. Never leave lit candles unattended. Make sure they are all completely out at night or when you go out.
Consider using battery operated candles as a safe alternative.

Don't light fires using flammable liquids like petrol/paraffin

Don't burn rubbish on fires in the grate

It’s never ok to target women with leering stares, uninvited sexual attention and intimidating remarks at any time.

It’s abusive and it’s sexual harassment.

Stop it by telling @CrimestoppersUK what you know, 100% anonymously: https://t.co/0NXP7GY6Rh
