Today’s Safety Tip
From the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission: When purchasing a Halloween costume, mask, beard or wig, look for the label “Flame Resistant.” Although this label does not mean these items won't catch fire, it does indicate the items will resist burning and should extinguish quickly once removed from the ignition source.
DISCLAIMER: The following incidents are preliminary in nature and are subject to change after investigation. Please note that the entries listed below do not cover every incident from overnight. The listings are subject to the judgment of staff officers’ sense of what is noteworthy.
