Champion – Trusted Restoration Pros Serving Metro Atlanta Since 1970

Yesterday, we shared the hidden dangers of candle use in the summer. Today, we’re giving you easy safety tips to enjoy the glow without the risk — and what to do if a fire does happen.

✅ Champion’s Summer Candle Safety Tips

1. Keep candles 12+ inches from anything flammable — especially curtains, plants, and paper.
2. Never leave candles unattended, even for “just a minute.”
3. Use stable, heat-proof holders and place them on flat, sturdy surfaces.
4. Avoid open windows or fans that could blow items into the flame.
5. Trim wicks to ¼ inch before each use to reduce flare-ups.
6. Switch to flameless LED candles for patios and outdoor entertaining.
7. Extinguish candles before bed or when leaving a room — always.
