"If you're going to be outside at night and you're going to have some candles going, I'm sure it's going to be a very lovely setting, it certainly sets an ambiance. But you want to be sure that you're keeping everybody, out there, safe from any sort of potential fire hazard's. Be sure that you keep the candles up high where nobody can walk by, swipe their clothes, catching it on fire or the candle isn't on edge where it can actually be tipped over and very quickly catch on fire. There are dangers with canvas umbrellas, certainly they can catch on fire. So, you want to be sure that you're not ever going to have any sort of burning accidents in your back yard. If you're going to have any sort of open flame in like a fire pit, be sure that you secure this so that a small child can't go wondering into it and if there are any sort of games being played outside, balls being thrown or anything, be sure that if any sort of fire pit or candle or open flame isn't any where near where somebody could go, you know, backing up trying to catch a ball flying through the air and land on the flame. Just a couple of things to keep in mind if you're enjoying a summer evening outside."
