March is Burn Prevention Month, dedicated to raising awareness about the causes and prevention of burns. It aims to educate people on safety measures to prevent burns at home, work, and in various everyday situations. The month typically involves campaigns, initiatives, and educational programs to reduce the incidence of burns and promote safety practices.

As we observe Burn Prevention Month, let's ignite awareness and action to safeguard against the dangers of burns. Through education, precaution, and swift response, we can extinguish the threat of burns and foster a safer environment for all.

Together, let's spark a culture of prevention, because every precaution taken is a life preserved.
