Candle Safety

Its that time of year when we get home from work, pull the curtains close and light some candles to give a more cosy feel to our homes. Candles are a really popular accessory, but they can cause really serious fires in the home. The most important rule if you have children is to instil in them that candles should not be used unless supervised by an adult at all times. Make sure that they are blown out before you go to sleep, or when you leave a room to minimise the chances of fire. You can get hurricane glasses to put the candles inside, which are a great safety tip as it shields the surrounding area should the flame be caught in a draught. If you can't find a hurricane lamp, keep the open flame at least three feet away from anything that may go up in flames. Make sure that if you have lit candles then they are out of reach from children and pets, and in a place where they won't get knocked over. Matches and lighters are particularly dangerous with small children, so make sure that these are locked away out of reach of little fingers.

You can now buy battery powered candles, which do take the  cosy feel away but are much safer for children and around foliage, for example a wreath table decoration.

During the Christmas period it is particularly important to make sure that you have insurance, so go online for Home Insurance Quotes and compare prices to find a good deal.

how to use an oil lamp???

I have an old antique oil lamp but I'm not exactly sure how to use it.

It has a screw on cap with a peice of TALL glass that sits inside the cap and covers the wick.

Can someone tell me how to use this?
I know that I fill it with oil that I got at walmart in the candle section for oil lamps and hurricane lamps. but, how do I do the wick?
do I completely soak it in oil before putting it in the wick feeder or do I just put a SMALL part of it in the oil?

any instructions in photos on how to use it would be great.

Thanks.
Thank you all for your answers!!

There should be directions on the bottle of oil, but...
fill the bottom with oil, put the whole thing back together, and let it sit for a couple of hours (might take less). The wick will "suck" oil up. You'll want to leave just a little wick showing at the top (1/4 inch or less). Now, take the TALL glass off and light the wick. The flame will get smaller the less wick you have showing. Get the flame to a safe size (about 2", depending on the size of the TALL glass. Put the shade (tall glass) back on. Enjoy -- but don't forget to blow it out before you go to bed!
