| Your Abilene Fire Department
warns that fires can start when flammable
materials touch a nightlight. In an
average year there are about 10 reported
incidents where nightlights were cited as
being responsible for fires where
flammable materials, such as bed spreads,
pillows, and toilet paper were ignited. It
appears that these nightlights were so
close to a bed that falling pillows or
blankets were able to touch the hot bulb
of the nightlight and start a fire.
To reduce the chance of fire:
- Locate nightlights away from beds
where the bulb might touch flammable
materials.
- Look for nightlights that bear the
mark of recognized testing laboratory.
- Consider using nightlights that have
cooler, mini neon bulbs instead of
four or seven watt bulbs.
