Menorah candle fire safety
No matter how beautiful your child’s or grandchild’s “arts and crafts” menorah may be, please do not use it. These menorahs are not suitable for lighting and may burn down when used.
Never leave a lit menorah unattended.
The menorah should be made of non-flammable material only.
Never place the menorah near or under flammable material such as papers, curtains or books.
Do not walk around while holding a lit candle.
Put out candles before you leave a room and before you go to bed
Keep matches and lighters away from children - out of reach.
Supervise any child that lights a menorah. Place their menorah close to the child so they don't have to reach over another menorah.
SERVPRO of Southwest Waukesha County wants you to be as safe as possible, but in the event of a fire give us a call at (262) 542-0900.
Best wishes this holiday season from the team here at SERVPRO of Southwest Waukesha County
