Safety Tips for Candles
Here is a list of safety tips when using candles. This one is my favorite:
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when you leave the room or go to bed. Almost half of all home fires started by candles begin in the bedroom. NFPA discourages the use of candles in the bedroom and other areas where people may fall asleep.
It would be a bummer to wake up and see that your bedroom is on fire! I guess that would be better than the alternative though - not waking up at all.
