Half of the fires occurred because of carelessness: • Over one-third started because the candles were left unattended, abandoned or poorly controlled. • Almost 20% of the fires occurred because combustible material was too close to the candle. The most common material ignited is mattresses or bedding, followed by cabinetry, curtains or drapes.
