Candles create an enchanting atmosphere, whether at an intimate gathering, a grand wedding, or a lavish outdoor celebration. However, to ensure safety and maximize their visual appeal, here are key precautions and best practices to follow:
1. Safety First: Fire Prevention Measures
- Use Holders & Containers – Always place candles in sturdy, heat-resistant holders to prevent tipping over.
- Keep Away from Flammable Items – Maintain a safe distance from drapes, tablecloths, decorations, and floral arrangements.
- Wind Protection for Outdoor Events – Use glass hurricanes or lanterns to shield flames from wind, preventing accidental spread.
- Secure Placement – Ensure candles are placed on stable, non-slippery surfaces to avoid accidental falls.
- Avoid Overcrowding – Keep sufficient space between candles, especially in clustered arrangements.
- Keep Away from Children & Pets – Place candles in elevated areas or out of reach of children and animals.
- Have a Fire Extinguisher Handy – Always have fire extinguishers or sand buckets accessible at large events.
2. Emergency Preparedness
- Assign Fire Marshals or Supervisors – Have event staff trained in candle safety for large gatherings.
- Have an Evacuation Plan – Ensure venue staff is aware of emergency exits and protocols.
- First Aid Kit: Keep the first aid kit and emergency contact numbers handy
