Carving pumpkins this weekend? Pick up some battery-operated candles beforehand so you can display your masterpieces safely! #Halloween @usfire
A graphic depicting a carved pumpkin with batteries sitting on the table next to it and a candle next to it. It reads, “Use flashlights or battery-operated candles for Halloween decorations. They are safer than candles and using them can prevent kids’ costumes from catching on fire.” The logos for FEMA, US Fire Administration are on the bottom.
