• On Halloween night, little ones are hard to see - reflective clothing could prevent needless accidents.
• Fire and open flames are not child's play -- use battery powered lights.
• Because of the special dangers of Halloween, children should be alert and aware. Be sure masks do not obscure vision or breathing, and that they stay in groups.
• Candy should be a "treat" not a "trick". Adults should check all candy before children eat it.
