Candle and Halogen Lamp Survey Results

Campus Firewatch conducted a very unscientific survey to determine what
various institutions’ policies are on candles and halogen lamps.

Fifty-one institutions responded to the inquiry.  The following are the
results.

Candles

38 (75%)        Outright bans against the use and possession of candles in student
residences.

6 (12%)         Candles are allowed to be used only under certain circumstances,
such as with a fire watch present, or in a special location such as a
student lounge with prior permission.

4 (8%)  Candles allowed as decorative items, but prohibited from being lit.

3 (6%)  No restrictions on candles.

Halogen Lamps

36 (71%)        Halogen lamps are banned.
