The North Attleborough Fire Department would like to share Diwali safety tips ahead of the holiday:
• Use battery powered candles instead of open flames
• Keep diyas and candles away from curtains and other fabrics, including loose clothing, when in use
• Place lamps on a flat, hard surface free of flammable materials so they stand firm
• Use caution! Assist small children and the elderly in all celebrations inside and outside your home
• Keep a fire extinguisher handy just in case
• Remember your pets! Many animals do not like loud noises, so please consider their comfort as well if using crackers!
We wish everyone a very Happy Diwali! May the celebration bring you health, happiness, and prosperity!
