Avoid billowing or long trailing features. • Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper are highly flammable. Keep . these and other decorations well away from all open flames and heat 1 sources, including light bulbs, heaters, etc. • Use extreme caution when decorating decorating with candles, and supervise chil dren and pets at all times when candles candles are lit. When lighting candles inside Jack-O-Lanterns, use long, fireplace-style matches and be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from all combustible items. Pumpkins can also be illuminated with small, inexpensive inexpensive flashlights. • Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, ensuring nothing blocks escape routes. • Use flashlights as alternatives to candles or torch lights when -decorating -decorating walkways and yards.
