We restore fire damage 24-hours a day in Riverside County.

Our team in Murrieta offers these tips from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection for Halloween Safety:

Tips for choosing the right costumes

• Purchase costumes made of flame retardant material
• Keep hemlines short enough to prevent tripping and avoid loose, baggy sleeves, or billowing skirts
• To be seen easily, costumes should be made of a light color material
• Use glow-in-the-dark reflective tape on your costume
• Use make-up rather than masks, which could obstruct vision

Tips for Halloween night

• Use battery-powered lights - never use candles to light jack-o’-lanterns
• Instruct children to stay away from open flames
• Remove objects from the yard that present a hazard to children (garden tools, hoses, etc.)
• Be extremely careful with cornstalks and other harvest season items. Keep them away from sources of heat. Don’t let them block doorways or stairs.
• Do not allow children to carry sharp sticks or other objects that could cause injury to themselves or to others
• If you are driving on Halloween, take care…watch out for trick-or-treaters who will be too busy to watch out for you
• Closely inspect all candy before allowing children to eat it. Discard any unwrapped treats from a stranger. If in doubt, throw it out.
