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.

Be sure children know how to stop, drop and roll in the event their clothing clothing catches fire. (Stop immediately, drop to the ground, covering your face with your hands, and roll over and over to extinguish flames.) • Instruct children who are attending parties at others' homes to locate the exits and plan how they would get out in an emergency. • Provide children with lightweight flashlights to carry for lighting or as part of their costume. costume.
