Our Mount Clemens and New Baltimore teams restore fire damage in Harrison Charter Township every year. Trick-or-treating is a beloved Halloween tradition, but ensuring your children stay safe while they collect their treats is essential.

One of the most important fire safety tips is to use battery-operated candles instead of traditional ones in your jack-o'-lanterns. This small change can significantly reduce the risk of an accidental fire, especially when excited children run around in costumes.

If you're using any lighting on your porch or walkway, opt for LED lights or other flameless options. Closely supervising children is crucial, especially around houses that may have open flames as part of their decorations. Remind children to be cautious and stay clear of any fire hazards, such as lit candles or fire pits.

Encourage kids to carry flashlights or wear glow-in-the-dark accessories, which will make them more visible to drivers and help them avoid tripping hazards. Additionally, ensure costumes are short enough to prevent tripping and that any loose or flowing garments are kept away from flames.

Following these fire safety tips ensures that your little ghosts and goblins enjoy a fun and safe trick-or-treating experience, keeping the evening focused on treats rather than potential dangers.
