Choose the SERVPRO-Safe way! LED Candles are a great additive to any cozy ambiance.

Many people love to embrace the Fall spirit with candles in jack-o'-lanterns and seasonal decorations. However, these charming touches come with their own set of risks. A glowing candle nestled inside a carved pumpkin can quickly turn from a spooky delight to a fire hazard if not handled properly. Let's not forget the mess of wax spills on your favorite furniture or carpet. Plus, candles placed too close to flammable decorations can be a serious fire risk. As you prepare for a festive season, you must be conscious of these potential mishaps to keep your celebrations safe.

Some Safe Decorating Alternatives

If you’re looking for festive ways to decorate without the risks associated with traditional candles, consider these three great alternatives:

1. Battery-Operated LED Candles: These candles mimic the warm glow of real flames without the fire risk. They’re perfect for illuminating jack-o'-lanterns and adding a cozy touch to other decorations.

2. Glow Sticks or LED String Lights: Add a splash of color and festivity to your decorations! They provide vibrant, flame-free lighting that works well both indoors and outdoors.

3. Solar-Powered Lights: Eco-friendly and efficient, solar-powered lights are ideal for outdoor displays. They use renewable energy and come with no heat or flame hazards, making them a safe and stylish choice for seasonal decorations and beyond.

By choosing these alternatives, you can create a festive atmosphere while keeping safety at the forefront of your celebrations. As always, if you encounter any fire hazards or other issues, SERVPRO of Decorah is Here to Help®!
