Party Fire in Kihei?

We respond to fire damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Maui and Hawaii.

Aloha! The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that more than one-third of the Halloween decoration fires reported each year start with a candle. SERVPRO® of Hawaii |SERVPRO® of Maui responds to fire damage emergencies 24-hours a day. We wish everyone a Happy Halloween and offer some tips from the NFPA for having a safe Halloween celebration in Kihei:

• Use a battery-operated candle or glow stick in jack-o-lanterns
• Dried flowers, cornstalks, and crepe paper catch fire easily
• Keep all decorations away from open flames and other heat sources like light bulbs and heaters
• When using electrical lighting to decorate your home, make sure it is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use, but not both.
• Use clips, not nails, to hang lights so the cords do not get damaged
• Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes. Make sure all smoke alarms are working.

For families still planning to attend Halloween parties or go trick-or-treating:

• When choosing costumes, stay away from long trailing fabric that could come in contact with open flames or other heat sources
• Teach children to stay away from open flames, including jack-o-lanterns with candles in them
• Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costumes
