## Text

Candles and other open flames, including lighting and burning of incense, are prohibited in any building owned or operated by Spokane Colleges. Open flames create a fire hazard, and scented candles and incense can be an irritant to other individuals. Exceptions may be made if the candle or flame is associated with instructional equipment under appropriate faculty supervision or for decorative/food preparation purposes as part of an approved college function and with appropriate equipment. The facilities department obtains necessary permits from the city of Spokane fire department for such uses.
