Happy Halloween, Apopka!

The City of Apopka, in conjunction with the Apopka Fire and Police Departments, released tips on how to stay safe on Halloween:

The City of Apopka would like to wish you and your family a safe Halloween. We hope you will review and discuss these safety tips from the Apopka Fire and Apopka Police Department! 

Tips for Trick-or-Treaters:

• Plan costumes that are bright and reflective. Consider adding reflective tape to costumes and treat bags for greater visibility. 
• Ensure that costumes fit properly and do not limit or block eyesight. When shopping for costumes and accessories, purchase those with a label indicating they are flame-resistant. 
• Have a responsible adult accompany children on the trick-or-treat trail. An adult should plan and review an acceptable route if older children go alone. 
• Only go to homes with porch lights on and never enter a house or car for a treat. 
• Remain on well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk. Never cut across yards or use alleyways. Only cross the street as a group in established crosswalk areas. 
• Put cell phones away. Keep your head up and walk. Do not run across the street. 
• Don’t accept, and especially don’t eat, anything that isn’t commercially wrapped.
