Keep festivities fun this Halloween with several safety tips from Idaho Power, especially for those with trick-or-treaters: 

• Ensure costumes are visible in the dark. Add reflective tape or wear glow sticks. 
• Avoid trips and falls by checking that costumes don’t drag on the ground and kids have proper footwear. Dress for warmth, too! 
• Ensure kids have adult supervision. If they’re older, agree on a set route in well-lit neighborhoods. 
• Remind kids to stay away from electrical equipment, and never decorate power poles or other electrical equipment such as the green boxes you may see in your neighborhood. 
• Inspect treats before eating (including for food allergies) and discard anything questionable. Keep chocolate away from pets! 
• If driving, slow down and limit distractions. Kids are twice as likely to get hit by a vehicle on Halloween. 
• For a safer alternative to traditional candles in those jack-o-lanterns, use battery-powered candles.
