BAYVIEW BURN PREVENTION

This holiday the Baltimore Ravens, the health professionals at The Baltimore Regional Burn Center at Johns Hopkins Bayview and the Metropolitan Fire Fighters are gearing up to bring you information that could save your life or the life of a loved one. Play it safe this season by following these simple steps:

• Install working smoke detectors on every level of your home.
• Have a fire escape plan.
• Do not let live trees dry out. Place them in a sturdy holder and fill the holder with water until the cut line is covered. Refill it everyday if necessary.
• Do not place live trees near a fireplace or wood stove.
• Keep space and kerosene heaters away from furniture and drapes.
• Do not use gas burners, stoves or candles as alternate sources of heat or light.
