Central Louisiana (UrbanCast: 10/30/2026) — As families prepare for costumes, candy, and fun, Acadian Ambulance reminds everyone that safety is the key to ensuring a happy and healthy Halloween. By taking a few simple precautions, families can help make sure Halloween events are full of treats rather than tricks.
To promote a safe and enjoyable Halloween, Acadian Ambulance encourages everyone to follow these safety guidelines:
- Stay visible. Use flashlights, glow sticks, or reflective tape on costumes and treat bags.
- Stay alert. Avoid distractions like phones or earbuds while walking.
- Watch for traffic. Cross at corners and make eye contact with drivers.
- Drive cautiously. Slow down and watch for children on roadways and driveways.
- Keep costumes safe. Choose light colors and avoid masks that block vision.
- Supervise children. Kids under 12 should have an adult with them; older children should travel in groups.
- Check candy before eating. Don’t eat any unwrapped candy or treats.
If you’re handing out candy, keep your porch light on and ensure decorations are safely placed away from walkways or open flames. Keep pets indoors to avoid unexpected fears or escapes.
By following these tips, families can help ensure a safe, fun-filled Halloween for everyone in their communities.
