Halloween decorations bring a festive and spooky atmosphere to any celebration but can also create serious fire hazards if not used carefully. Many popular decorations, such as dried cornstalks, paper banners, and plastic props, are flammable and can easily catch fire if exposed to an open flame or overheated light bulb.

Candles are a common ignition source, especially when placed inside jack-o'-lanterns or near other decorations. To reduce the fire risk, consider using flameless candles or battery-operated LED lights instead of real candles.

Always place decorations away from heat sources like lamps, radiators, or fireplaces, and ensure they are securely positioned to prevent them from falling or being blown into a flame. Also, never leave a room unattended with candles or other open flames burning.

By taking these precautions, you can ensure that your Halloween festivities remain fun and safe, allowing everyone to enjoy the holiday without the threat of a fire disrupting the celebrations.
