With Bonfire Night fast approaching, it’s important to know how to respond to burns.

Recognising whether a burn is superficial, partial thickness, or full thickness can help you provide the right first aid promptly. 💥

We hope everyone enjoys themselves whilst staying safe! If you see our volunteers, be sure to give them a wave! 👋
