The Fort Erie Fire Department is reminding everyone to "candle with care" this holiday season.
Make sure to blow out all candles when leaving the house or when going to bed.
Fire officials say you should avoid using candles in places like the bedroom, where people might fall asleep.
Keep candles in a proper holder away from any clutter and make sure flammable items are out of the way when lighting candles.
More than half of all candle fires start when flammable objects are too close to the flame.
You should never leave a child alone in a room with a lit candle.
It's also a good idea to keep matches and lighters out of reach.
