Burn Injuries
Each year, nearly 25,000 people are seriously injured because of a burn, and thousands of these are fatalities. Fire can be very helpful as a tool because it can be used to heat, to cook food, and to provide warmth, but it is also very dangerous. It can especially be a problem when involved in an explosion or another volatile event because they are difficult, if not impossible, to control.
Ways to Obtain a Burn Injury
There are many ways to be burned, and many of them may be things that you would not expect to be dangerous burn possibilities. Some of the most common burn accidents include:
- Fires, both residential and commercial
- Electrical burns
- Hot liquids
- Chemical burns
- Explosions of gas tanks or pipes
- Car or truck fires
Many of the fires that take place in a commercial or residential setting can be especially dangerous because there is a high possibility of being trapped in a building with no escape. Explosions are dangerous because they can be unexpected and very volatile, and chemical burns may not always be completely understood before they happen. Car or truck fires are often associated with accidents, which makes them especially hazardous.
