Have a fun and safe Halloween

Have a fun and safe Halloween

This is the big day for all who enjoy dressing up in costumes and celebrating Halloween, especially those youngsters who are excited about trick or treating. Scripps Ranch is relatively safe and neighbors look out for the little ones. Still, it’s best to enjoy Halloween while keeping safety in mind.

Drivers should be extra cautious on Halloween and drive slowly through all neighborhoods. Kids can get caught up in all the excitement and forget their safety rules while walking. Those accompanying trick or treaters should stay a few steps ahead of the kids, remind youngsters to be careful when crossing streets and do anything possible to preempt accidents.

The City of San Diego offers the following Halloween safety tips:

Halloween should be fun and safe for children and parents. Follow these simple rules to be sure that it is.

  • Purchase only costumes, wigs and props labeled flame-resistant or flame-retardant. When creating a costume, choose material that will not easily ignite if it comes in contact with heat or flame. Avoid billowing or long trailing features.
  • Provide children with lightweight flashlights to carry for lighting or as part of their costume
  • Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper are highly flammable. Keep these and other decorations well away from all open flames and heat sources, including light bulbs and heaters.
  • Use flashlights or battery-operated candles when illuminating jack-o’-lantern. Use extreme caution when decorating with candle lit jack-o’-lanterns, and supervise children at all times when candles are lit. When lighting candles inside jack-o’-lanterns, use long, fireplace-style matches and be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from anything that can burn including doorsteps, walkways and yards.
  • Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, ensuring nothing blocks escape routes.
  • Use flashlights as alternatives to candles or torchlights when decorating walkways and yards. They are much safer for trick-or-treaters, whose costumes may brush against the lighting.
  • Instruct children to stay away from open flames or other heat sources. Be sure children know how to stop, drop and roll in the event their clothing catches fire. (Stop immediately, drop to the ground, covering your face with your hands, and roll over and over to extinguish flames.) Cool the burn.
  • Make sure fuel-burning equipment is vented to the outside, that the venting is kept clear and unobstructed, and that the exit point is properly sealed around the vent, all of which is to make sure deadly carbon monoxide does not build up in the home.
  • Instruct children who are attending parties at others’ homes to locate the exits and plan how they would get out in an emergency.

Once the kids get home, parents should always inspect their Halloween treats to make sure they have not been tampered with before allowing their children to consume the goodies.

    News is kinda vanilla. You ought to peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create news
    headlines to get people interested. You might add a video
    or a related pic or two to grab people excited about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.

  89. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something
