Glass-fronted fireplaces are festive during the holiday season, as they’re beautiful to look at, but they’re also a potential danger to toddlers. Surface temperatures can be as high as 172 degrees Fahrenheit, and a child can get a full-thickness burn in less than one second.
To help keep children safe, be sure to install protective barriers and keep them away from any fireplaces or wood-burning stoves.
