| As Fire Prevention Week continues, Myles would like to remind everyone of Protecting your children from burns with these helpful tips:
**Keep young children at least 3 feet away from any place where hot food or drink is prepared or carried.
**Keep hot foods and liquids away from table and counter edges.
**Never hold a child while cooking, drinking or carrying hot foods or liquids.
**Teach children that hot things burn.
**When children are old enough, teach them to cook safely. Supervise them closely.
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. Here is everything you need to know about preventing burns and keep your family safe!
