“Use Candles with Care; When You Go Out, Blow Out!”
Home candles fires have risen as most other causes of home fires have declined, according to the non-profit National First Protection Association (NFPA). Here are a few tips to help use candles safely:

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Carefully put out candles when you leave the room or go to bed.
Keep candles at least one foot away from anything that can burn, including curtains, blinds, wallpaper and clothing.
Never leave a child unattended in a room with a burning candle. • Use candle holders that are sturdy, won’t tip over easily, are made from a material that can’t burn, and are large enough to collect dripping wax.
Keep candle wicks trimmed to one-quarter inch.
Store matches and lighters up high and out of children’s sight and reach, preferably in a locked cabinet.

Because candle fires spread so quickly, we are urged to ensure that smoke alarms are installed on every level of the home. Residents should test smoke alarms once a month, replace alarm batteries twice a year, and replace smoke alarms after 10 years. Each member of the household needs to know the first escape plan, and all should practice it twice a year.

Huntsville Helps Utah Walk to Mars
It’s time to get active and get fit with Utah Walks. We invite Huntsville residents to join with other Utahns and become more physically active by helping Utah “walk to Mars!” Start now by tracking your miles on the Utah Walks Web site: www.utahwalks.org. Select “Walk Tracker” then “join now,” and don’t forget to join our group – Huntsville.

We want Huntsville to have the highest mileage in the state. In order to do this, everyone needs to start walking and tracking their miles! It is very simple as many are already walking - simply log your miles.

Other communities have walked to the Moon; we can help Utah make it to Mars! If you have questions about Utah Walks or have trouble signing up on their Web site, please contact the Town Hall for assistance or email htcouncil@xmission.com (745-3420).
