Apple Valley Halloween Party Ends Early Due to Decoration Fire?

We are leaders in fire damage restoration services in San Bernardino County.

Every October, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hosts Residential Fire Awareness Month, dedicated to home fire awareness and safety. Halloween is a popular celebration for people of all ages, and we want everyone to be safe from unwanted fires and fire damage. Our local Hesperia/Apple Valley and Barstow/Twentynine Palms, Victorville teams offer these Halloween safety tips from the NFPA:

• Use a battery-operated candle or glow stick in jack-o-lanterns
• 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.
• When using electrical lighting to decorate your home, make sure it is used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use, but not both.
• Use clips, not nails, to hang lights, so the cords do not get damaged
• Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes. Make sure all smoke alarms are working.

For families planning to attend Halloween parties or go trick-or-treating:

• When choosing costumes, stay away from long trailing fabric that could come in contact with open flames or other heat sources
• Teach children to stay away from open flames, including jack-o-lanterns with candles in them
• Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costumes
