February 5 to 11 is National Burn Awareness Week. The American Burn Association encouraged life safety educators to take various steps to spread messaging throughout their communities—including reaching out to local officials to request government recognition of National Burn Awareness Week, as well as posting safety tips and techniques to their social media pages. On their website, they also made available several burn awareness fact sheets regarding cooking safety. The Association hopes the week’s dedication to burn awareness will prompt organizations to educate individuals on fire and burn prevention and reduce the incidence of burns.
