ANDOVER firefighters have warned people to be extra careful if they want to create that special festive atmosphere by lighting up candles this Christmas.
A spokesman warned that candles can be dangerous if left unattended and are advising people never to leave them alone while still alight. One common problem is caused when people leave candles on top of TV sets or other plastic surfaces. As the candle burns low it can set fire to the plastic.
Firefighters warn always extinguish candles whenever you leave a room unattended and never leave children alone with lighted candles.
