Summer is the time to enjoy vacations, camping, picnics and the summer holidays; however, summertime also brings fires and burn injuries due to fireworks, camping and outdoor cooking. Read the following tips and guidelines to ensure everyone stays safe.

Safety Tips:  Wear short sleeves or roll them up when cooking on the grill. Use long-handled barbecue tools. Attend public fireworks displays; this leaves the lighting to the professionals.

First aid for burns: Place the burn in cool water for three to five minutes. Cover the burn with a clean, dry cloth. See your doctor if the burn is larger than your palm. More Safety Tips
