The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) is reminding the public
to exercise greater caution when making religious offerings during
the "Qing Ming" festival.
This is given that religious activities like the burning of
incense paper and lighting candles/joss sticks are expected to
increase during the festival.
SCDF said the burning of incense paper should be done in incense
burners.
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.
