The Fire Marshal's Public Fire Safety Council: Public Service Announcement (PSA)

For immediate release

The Fire Marshal's Public Fire Safety Council and your local fire department request that you announce the following important message during your broadcast.  
Voice Over: Length 30 seconds

There’s nothing cosier than the warm glow of candlelight, but did you know that candles are one of the leading causes of fire? Your fire department asks you to please take care when using candles in your home.

Keep lit candles in sturdy holders on level surfaces and if possible, place a glass chimney or shade over it. Candles can easily be knocked over, so keep them out of the reach of children and pets, and away from anything that can burn. Be sure to extinguish candles before leaving the room or going to bed.

A message from the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council and this station.
