Candles and Ceremonial Burning Practices

Candles and ceremonial burning practices

Whether you're using candles or incense to light, scent and decorate, or as a religious symbol, these popular home accessories can start a fire if not used safely.

Similarly, if you are burning herbs, wood, coal or other solid fuels as part of a traditional ceremony at home there are fire and carbon monoxide (CO) risks to consider.

It is vital when using these items that you do so safely to avoid starting a fire or exposing yourself and others to carbon monoxide.
