Hotels tend to have a silent alarm. My boyfriend did that for me for my birthday (Radisson Suites Hotel) and while in the process of putting all the candles out he recieved a phone call from the front desk saying the alarm went off and that they would be sending someone down. (he ran to put them all away. So what he did was take out the battery of the fire alarm. Problem solved! I noticed a lot of people saying "unless you light A LOT!" my boyfriend had about 20? maybe less....and just as he was lighting them thats when he got the phone call. I guess it just depends .... actually they might. Hotels tend to have a silent alarm.

Like the plume of smoke would have to touch the detector, so it's highly unlikely it would happen. Like, you never hear about people setting off there smoke detectors that are smokers that smoke in there house, right?

So cold will be no problem. The problem is in summer when the garage gets hot! And the temp swings wildly. Another problem: mice. They love wax. So, store them in an aluminum or metal box that seals up well, and store them in the north part of the garage. Bring them out in the spring and store them somewhere cool. Be sure and label the box!

If you haven't seen or used it in a year, then get rid of it. Too much stuff is a fire hazard. Candles will melt in the heat of the summer. If they are for emergencies, how are you supposed to get to them quickly if you have to go bumbling around in the dark garage for them? Clear out one of your desk drawers or dresser drawers and store them there so you can just go right to them even in the dead of night. Don't forget to store them with a box of matches though or you'll still be in the dark with tons of candles and no way to light them. Sounds like you need to start donating things to Goodwill.
