随着万圣节临近,全国人民代表大会警告装饰、服装和蜡烛的火灾风险会增加,注意到从2019年到2023年,每年平均发生832起与装饰有关的家庭火灾,造成3人死亡,28人受伤,1 700万美元受损。 As Halloween nears, the NFPA warns of rising fire risks from decorations, costumes, and candles, noting an average of 832 annual home fires from 2019 to 2023 linked to decorations, resulting in three deaths, 28 injuries, and $17 million in damage. 将近一半是热源附近的装饰物造成的,大约三分之一是蜡烛开始。 Nearly half were caused by decorations near heat sources, and about one-third started with candles. NFPA建议使用用电池操作的蜡烛, 避免长装或易燃服装, 确保面罩不会挡住视线, 并检查烟雾警报器。 The NFPA recommends using battery-operated candles, avoiding long or flammable costumes, ensuring masks don’t block vision, and checking smoke alarms. 敦促家庭保持出口畅通,使用手电筒或发光棒,而不是服装中的蜡烛。 Families are urged to keep exits clear and use flashlights or glow sticks instead of candles in costumes. 额外的安全资源可在nfpa.org查阅。 Additional safety resources are available at nfpa.org.
