🎃👻 HALLOWEEN SAFETY: KEEP THE FRIGHTS FUN! 👻🎃
Halloween is just around the corner, and the Denton County Fire Marshal’s Office wants to remind everyone that a little preparation can help keep Halloween fun, safe, and memorable for the whole family!
Before heading out for a night of tricks and treats, remember these important safety tips:
🔦 Light Up the Night! Carry flashlights or glow sticks and add reflective materials to costumes so drivers can easily see you.
🧙 Costume Safety Matters! Choose flame-resistant costumes that fit properly and don't obstruct vision or create tripping hazards.
🚸 Watch for Little Monsters! Cross streets at intersections, use sidewalks when available, and always look both ways. Drivers, slow down and stay alert for excited trick-or-treaters!
🎃 Keep the Scares, Not the Flames! Use battery-operated candles or LED lights in jack-o'-lanterns and decorations. Keep decorations away from heat sources and exits.
🍬 Check Those Treats! Parents and guardians should inspect candy and treats before children dig into their Halloween haul.
🏠 Make Your Home Trick-or-Treat Friendly! Keep walkways clear, turn on exterior lights, and make sure decorations don't create trip or fire hazards.
Halloween should be full of costumes, candy, laughter, and maybe a few good scares — but emergencies shouldn't be one of them!
From all of us at the Denton County Fire Marshal’s Office, have a SAFE, FUN, and SPOOKTACULAR Halloween!
