Most “fire-related injuries” are burns. In fact, approximately every 60 seconds someone in the U.S. sustains a burn injury serious enough to require treatment.*  Increased awareness of the dangers can prevent injuries. Keep your family safe by learning how to prevent burns.

National Burn Awareness Week is observed the first full week in February, and it is designed to provide an opportunity for burn, fire and life safety educators to unite in sharing a common burn awareness and prevention message in our communities. NFPA provides a number of resources to help keep kids, adults and communities safe and aware of potentially harmful situations.

Faces of Fire

Faces of Fire is a campaign of NFPA’s Fire Sprinkler Initiative that features stories of people impacted by fire and demonstrates the need for home fire sprinklers. Hear from burn survivors whose lives have been forever altered, fire service members with career-ending injuries, homeowners that have lost everything–and how sprinklers could have significantly impacted these outcomes.
