It's Burn Awareness Week! As little ones start to explore, their slower reflexes can make it harder for them to move their hands away from hot surfaces quickly. Let’s use this week to create safe spaces for our curious kids. Keep young children away from the fireplace to prevent burns from the hot glass.
