Halloween Flames Safety Tips

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village and tonight we're talking about Halloween safety tips for trick or treating. If you're going to carve pumpkins this year, you might want to steer away from any sort of open flame. They really aren't necessary. Candles are not necessary anymore to light up your pumpkin. Nowadays, there are a lot of different options. You can use flashlight if you can, use string lights, or they even have these little lights that are very inexpensive and can be picked up at most drugstores. They're just battery operated. You turn them on and they have a very long life. They will light your pumpkin just as well as any candle will. Another option is a prefabricated pumpkin like this. This is made out of resin. As you can see, it just has traditional carving, but there is a bulb in there that lights the pumpkin and aluminates it nicely. That's an option. If you want to set mood lighting, you don't have to use real candles. This looks like a real candle, but in fact, it's just plastic. When you turn it on it looks very much like a real lit candle. These can be picked up at home improvement stores or a variety of other stores. These are all very good options. They will set the mood that you want, but they'll do so safely and they'll help you have a very happy and safe Halloween."
