“A Letter Home….”
Presented by the City of Boulder
Fire Department
The fire damage shown in these photographs
was caused by a carelessly used candle.
Make sure this doesn’t happen to you!
Dear Mom and Dad, We found a nice house to rent off campus.
I have a great view from my room.
Thanks for the new clothes and the computer.
You were right, the new bed is much better than my old futon.
My friend’s room has lots of light for her plants.
Our bathroom is nice and clean.
We want you to come visit us soon!
P.S. Do I have Renter’s Insurance?
•Blow out a burning candle before leaving the room, or falling asleep. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
•Place all burning candles on a solid, non-combustible surface, well away from curtains, open windows and combustible decorations.
•Make sure your smoke detectors are working. Change the batteries twice a year; when you change your clocks.
•You may have less than 2 minutes to escape after the detector sounds.
•Have your escape route planned.
