AKRON, Ohio, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Halloween is creeping up fast! Costumes and candy may steal the show, but safety is the real hero. From decking out your home to guiding little goblins on their candy quest, these tips from FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) can help keep the holiday spooky and safe.

Haunt Your House Safely
Decorations bring Halloween to life. Make safety part of your plan by following these steps:

  • Check your surroundings. You and your decorations should never be within 10 feet of a power line.
  • Never attach decorations to utility poles or electrical equipment. It's not just risky – it's dangerous.
  • If something does get stuck in a power line, don't touch it. Call 888-LIGHTSS and we'll get it back for you.

Before plugging in your twinkling lights or inflatable ghosts:

  • Check for damaged cords. Replace any with cracks, frays or exposed wires.
  • Unplug hot cords right away.
  • Look for the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) tag — red means safe for indoor and outdoor use, green means indoor only.
  • Use ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) outlets to prevent shock, especially outdoors.
  • Secure lights with clips. Staples and nails can damage cords.
  • Choose flame-free lighting like flashlights, LED candles or glow sticks for jack-o'-lanterns and other decorations.
  • Keep flammable décor (like cornstalks) away from heat or flames.
  • Keep indoor lights away from curtains, carpet and furniture.

No Tricks, Just Treats on Halloween Night
Before you hit the streets in search of sweets:

  • Keep pathways and entryways clear and well-lit to help prevent trips and falls.
  • Include reflective material or glow sticks with costumes to help improve visibility.
  • Carry a flashlight.
  • Walk – don't run! Stay on the sidewalk and use crosswalks whenever possible.
  • Motorists should use extra caution and look out for children crossing the street.
