Stay safe while being spooky this Halloween by following these safety tips:

• Supervise pumpkin carving.
• Carry a flashlight and have reflectors and/or glowsticks for your trick-or-treaters to stay safe.
• Wear light colors that stand out in the dark to find each other and be seen by cars.
• Avoid flames. Flowing costumes, props, and wigs/hair can catch fire easily.
• Inspect candy, ensure the candy is safe to consume and that it contains nothing that your kids are allergic to.
• Avoid strange pets, not all the creatures of the night are friendly. If you do not know the animal, best to avoid them.
