Candles: one of the major causes of home fires
Candles provide great warmth and ambiance to any home. It is easy to forget that such a calming artifact is an open flame that can reach 1,400 °C. Most candle fires begin in the bedroom – with a mattress or bedding cited as the first item to ignite – except during the holidays, when more people use candles precariously too close to decorations. Furniture and plastics are also cited as the first items in the home to catch fire from a lit candle. Statistics reveal that the most common causes of fire are: •Leaving candles unattended. •Falling asleep while a candle is lit. •Using candles for light. •Candles located too close to burnable objects. •Candles knocked over by children, pets or sudden drafts.
