HALLOWEEN IS TUESDAY, AND THE PRESCOTT FIRE DEPARTMENT WANTS TO MAKE SURE YOU ENJOY THE OCCASION SAFELY. FIRE OFFICIALS HAVE SOME TIPS TO MAKE SURE BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS STAY SAFE HALLOWEEN NIGHT. 

FIRST, MAKE SURE NO DECORATIONS ARE BLOCKING ENTRANCES AND EXITS TO YOUR HOME. ALONG WITH BEING A TRIPPING HAZARD FOR TRICK OR TREATERS, THEY CAN ALSO HINDER YOUR ESCAPE IN THE EVENT OF A HOUSE FIRE. KEEP LOOSE-FITTING CLOTHES AND DRY DECORATIONS AWAY FROM ANY HEAT SOURCES. YOU SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER USING ALTERNATIVES TO DECORATIVE CANDLES SUCH AS BATTERY-POWERED FLAMELESS TEALIGHTS.
