You may enjoy relaxing to the scent and soft glow of a candle burning in the room. That fire happened just a few months ago when the parents left the home with a candle burning. And just last week a candle burning inside this home caused major damage. Also, manufacturers have recalled some candles similar to this because the paint on the candles may be more flammable than the wick. Fire officials also advise people to use a reliable flash light instead of candles during power outages or other emergencies.
Fire fighters say a flashlight is much safer than a lit candle.
