Halloween is quickly approaching, and the Price Fire Department would like to discuss safety concepts. We would like 2019 to be a safe and enjoyable holiday. Consider the following points in your planning.

• Plan your night, look for well-lit areas to visit
• When selecting a costume, consider bright colors with reflective tape
• Accompany small children to the door of homes you visit
• Always check your children’s candy. Look for tampered packaging or anything that doesn’t look right and throw those away
• Carry more than one flashlight to luminate paths
• Use sidewalks and crosswalks
• Use supervised caution when carving pumpkins
• Use artificial lights in decorations instead of candles
• Pin a note of your child’s address and your phone numbers in case of separation
• Put your pets in a separate room during Trick or Treating
• Don’t take pets with you and you walk your children around your route

We all have great memories of our Halloween holidays and we hope this continues for your family. Considering a few simple ideas about keeping our children safe can avoid problems. Let’s make Price City safe this year. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.
