The Squad wants to remind you to be safe this Halloween by following these tips and tricks. When choosing a costume, stay away from long trailing fabric. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough so they can see out.

Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costumes. For example, use a battery-operated candle or glow stick in jack-o-lanterns. If you use a real candle, use extreme caution.

Finally, make sure all smoke alarms in the home are working.

Be Safe, Be Seen, the Halloween.
