Candles are very relaxing and pleasant to have around the house, but things can get out of control just like nearly anything that involves controlled fire. One question that many new candle enthusiasts have is, \u201cIs it possible for candle wax to catch on fire?\u201d It is a good question and important to know if you want to stay safe while burning candles, so let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most well-made candles will stay well below the wax\u2019s flashpoint, but contaminated wax and fragrances can also cause a fire.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While it probably won\u2019t happen if you\u2019re using half-decent candles and taking the proper safety precautions, your candle\u2019s wax catching fire is a real possibility you should try your best to ensure doesn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s take a more in-depth look at how wax can catch fire, what causes it to happen, why it\u2019s dangerous, and so much more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
