Fire safety during Hanukkah
The principal icon of Hanukkah is the menorah, a candelabrum with nine lights. The first night of Hanukkah sees two candles lit. Each subsequent evening, another is kindled, until all nine are burning bright. Whether your menorah features standard candles, an oil-burning lamp light, or is powered by electricity, if you’ve got a dog in the house, you have a chance for an accidental conflagration.
