Important Please Read to Prevent a Fire During This Holiday Season

According to the US Fire Administration, over 23,000 residential fires a year are caused by candles. These fires result in over 1500 injuries, 165 fatalities and nearly $400 million in property damage and loss.

Candle fires are reported more often during the holiday season than any other time of year. 4 out of the 5 days with the highest reported incidences of home fires are Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. (The fifth day is Halloween.)

Many candle fires begin through inattention, and nearly half of all candle fires begin when a lit candle is placed too close to combustible material.

The Massachusetts Department of Fire Services developed the “Candle Circle of Safety” program to help prevent candle fires. They believe, as does Scentsy, that candle fire prevention begins with candle fire education, followed by practicing candle safety whenever you burn a candle.

Scentsy We Make Perfect Scents

In July of 2003, two moms who loved candles but hated the danger of open flames decided to design a safe alternative to fragrant wicked candles. Both of them loved scented candles, but they had small children. The threat of fire or injury was an enormous safety concern.

After months of research, they came up with was a safe, beautiful and creative alternative to a traditional wick and flame candle. Aromatic candles, heated in decorative warmers where the wax is melted by the heat of a 25 watt bulb, were the fragrance solution they had been looking for.

Scentsy, Inc., the authentic wickless candle company, was born. The concept is simple, and powerful. The products are heartwarming and current. Above all, they are safe.
