Oddly in a desert full of fire hazards they are remarkably safe. The candle is relatively safe in the bag because of the sand. If a luminaria gets kicked and falls over, the paper bag quickly burns up and the flame doesn't last long enough to catch anything else on fire. Of course the people setting them out do have to have a little common sense. ;o)
