Monday, December 13, 2010 is Candle Safety Awareness Day!

The Candle Circle of Safety has melted itself into a large-scale public service campaign.  In the year 2000, the Massachusetts Legislature passed a bill that the Governor signed, declaring the second Monday in December as Candle Safety Awareness Day.  Partnerships with the Office of the State Fire Marshal and leading candle retailers have been formed in an effort to better educate consumers.

Organizations such as the National Candle Association and the National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM) have been asked to endorse and promote the Circle of Safety nationally.
