COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO) – The Red Cross is offering some advice for trick-or-treaters:

• Plan the trick-or-treat route so you know where your children are going.
• Use only flame-resistant costumes.
• Make sure trick-or-treaters can see and be seen.
• Give them a flashlight to light their way or add reflective tape to costumes.
• Never go inside a home to accept treats.
• If possible stay on sidewalks.
