Candles Cause Fire Damage in Mullens Home?

We restore fire damage 24 hours a day in Raleigh County.

Our local Beckley team has been restoring fire damage for Mullens residents and businesses since 1999. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), candle fires are one of the leading causes of home fires in the United States. More than one-third of home candle fires start in a bedroom, and three out of every five candle fires start when things that can burn are too close to the candle.

Here are some candle safety tips from the NFPA:

• Use candle holders that are sturdy and won’t tip over easily
• Put candle holders on a sturdy, uncluttered surface
• Light candles carefully
• Keep your hair and any loose clothing away from the flame
• Don’t burn a candle all the way down. Put it out before it gets too close to the holder or container.
• Never use a candle if oxygen is used in the home
• Have flashlights and battery-powered lighting ready to use during a power outage. Never use candles.
• Keep candles at least 1 foot away from anything that can burn
