According to the United States Fire Safety Administration (USFSA) in 2004, children alone ignite approximately 100,000 fires annually. Sadly, children between newborn and 2 years old are most frequently admitted for emergency burn care in hospitals across the country, accounting for 25 percent of fire-related injuries or deaths. The USFSA reports that matches, lighters and other heat sources are the leading causes of fire death and injury for children. Consequently, it imperative that parents educate their children about fire safety. Parents should teach their children fire safety rules. Tell them to return matches, lighters and other fire causing items to an adult if found, says Dr. insert last name, an insert specialty osteopathic physician who practices in insert city, state. In addition, parents should buy childrens sleepwear made from flame-retardant fabric. Another recommendation shared by both USFSA and Dr. insert last name is to involve children in the fire safety planning process. There are a lot of ways to involve kids in fire safety, s/he advises. I recommend that parents ask their children to practice fire escape routes. Other suggested fire safety planning techniques include: Make sure children know their address, home phone number, and the emergency number for the local fire department. Inform children to keep stairways and exits clear of toys and other objects that could slow an escape. Practice using the escape route in family fire drills at least twice a year and make sure babysitters are aware of the route. Show children how to escape through smoke by getting down on their hands and knees and crawling below smoke to the nearest exit. According to the USFSA, children typically play with fire in bedrooms, in closets and under beds. Parents should frequently check under beds and in closets for burned matches or evidence that a child may be playing with fire If a child does get burned, Dr. insert last name has some important advice. First, make sure children know the stop, drop and roll technique in case clothing catches on fire, s/he directs. Once the flames are smothered, cover the burn with a clean, dry cloth. S/he advises against applying any medication, ice, or butter on the burned area. Then, analyze the burn to identify the degree. Look for a burn that appears red or pale white. The skin should turn white (blanches) when you press on it, then turn back to red. This is a first or second-degree burn and home treatment may be an option. Third degree burns require immediate physician evaluation and hospitalization to rehydrate and restore blood electrolytes. If a patient sustains a third degree burn, he or she may also be in shock. If there is any uncertainty as to the degree of the burn or your child is younger than 3 years old, consult your local family physician or emergency room for medical treatment, instructs Dr. insert last name. When treating a first or second-degree burn at home, it is important to maintain a covering on the injury. Burns are extremely sensitive to temperature and therefore more susceptible to frostbite and sunburns. Sunscreen with a high sun protective factor (SPF) should always be applied to any sun exposed areas, particularly the injured area for the first year. S/he also recommends that parents keep their children away from second-hand smoke. Second-hand smoke can slow the healing process because it decreases blood supply and delays tissue repair. Second-hand smoke will hinder your childs healing process, Dr. insert last name advises. First-degree burns usually heal with home treatment in about 3 to 5 days. The treatment time for a second-degree burn depends upon the size of the burn, its depth, and the age and health of the person with the burn. Some second-degree burns may heal with the use of home treatment in 10 to 18 days, while others may require more extensive medical treatment. While first-degree burns usually do not cause blisters or scars, second-degree burns may leave scars after they heal. Most importantly, if you treat the injury at home watch for any signs of infection, explains Dr. insert last name. If you believe the area to be infected, contact your family physician. Signs of infection include: Increased pain, swelling, redness, or warmth around the affected area. Red streaks extending from the affected area. Drainage of pus from the area. Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, or groin. Fever of 100 F or higher, or chills with no other known cause.
