1. Never leave a burning candle unattended or lit while sleeping. 

  2. Never touch or move a burning candle. 

  3. Don't burn a candle all the way down.

  4. If burning multiple candles, place each candle at least three inches apart from one another. 

  5. Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly.

  7. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc.

  8. Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Do not place lit candles where they can be knocked over by children, pets or anyone else.
