Fighting Burns is an editorial desk on fire prevention, home safety and burn care. It explains how a home fire starts, the checks and habits that keep one from starting, the first minutes after a burn, and how skin heals. Four sections hold the work: Fire Prevention, Burn Care and Recovery, Home Safety, and the Firefighter Community.
