Fire safety prevention advice from electricians in Leeds

At this time of year we all enjoy spending time sitting outdoors on long summer evenings. There’s nothing quite like the flicker of candles to create a cosy, intimate atmosphere but because candles are responsible for increasing numbers of house fires, it’s very important to know how to use them safely.

Provided you use a specially designed candle holder with a stable base, a burning candle should be safe provided it isn’t place near curtains, parasols or other fabrics. You should always place a candle holder on a heat resistant surface and ensure that burning candles are kept well out of reach of children and pets. Last and by no means least, it goes without saying that candles should never be left unattended whilst burning.
