  • Do Not Use Candles During Power Outages.
  • 36% of all house fires are started by unattended or abandoned candles.
  • When Using Portable Generators, do not use them indoors.
  • Only operate generators outdoors in well ventilated, dry area, away from air takes to the home and protected from direct exposure to rain.
  • Visit the National Fire Protection Association's website for further information (www.nfpa.org)
