How do I stay safe on Halloween?

Stay visible with reflective gear and a flashlight, inspect all treats before eating, plan a familiar well-lit route, and use LED candles instead of flames in jack-o'-lanterns and décor.

Are LED candles safer than real candles at Halloween?

Yes. LED candles remove the fire hazard entirely — especially important near costumes, which are often flammable — while keeping the same glowing look.

How do I keep kids safe trick-or-treating?

Keep young children close, stick to sidewalks, agree on a meeting spot if a group splits, and check candy for tampering or allergens before letting kids dig in.

Plan the route

Flame-free flicker
