This time of year marks many holiday events and social activities. Candles make any party festive, but they can also cause fires. Here are some candle safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association: 

• Blow out all candles when you leave the room or go to bed. Avoid the use of candles in the bedroom and other areas where people may fall asleep. 
• Keep candles at least 1 foot away from anything that can burn 
• Use candle holders that are sturdy and won’t tip over easily 

• Put candle holders on a sturdy, uncluttered surface 
• Light candles carefully, and keep your hair and any loose clothing away from the flame 
• Don’t burn a candle all the way down — put it out before it gets too close to the holder or container 
• Never use a candle if oxygen is used in the home 
• Have flashlights and battery-powered lighting ready to use during a power outage. Never use candles. 

• Think about using flameless candles in your home. They look and smell like real candles.
