Wax fires, whether they are caused by candle wax or another form of wax, are known for being incredibly dangerous.
Wax fires can be caused by dousing boiling wax with water and this is one of the biggest reasons why you should never try to put out a candle with any source of water.
Please make sure when lighting your Chanukah Menorahs to always have a fire extinguisher close by, and never attempt to use water to take out a fire. We wish everyone a safe and happy Chanukah!
