SAFETY! Do candles explode?

Candles can explode due to a chemical reaction when water combines with certain fuel types. This explosion may also be referred to as a candle fire. By breaking the fire triangle, a fire can be extinguished safely, without intensifying the matter. The safety warning on your candles will provide you with specific measures, that when followed correctly, will help you to best prevent these explosions from happening. In addition to following safety measures, keep your candles dry and away from water when they have a hot wax pool, and effectively extinguish the wax fire when needed. Should water get into your hot wax, discard it and do not reignite the candle.
