Exercise greater caution on fires during Qing Ming: SCDF

SINGAPORE - The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) is reminding the public to exercise greater caution when making religious offerings during the "Qing Ming" festival, especially since the burning of incense paper and the lighting of candles/joss sticks are expected to increase during the festival.

SCDF said the burning of incense paper should be done in incense burners, and the burners or containers should be placed on sturdy ground and at a safe distance away from combustible materials and locations.

SCDF said fire safety is a collective responsibility.
