Prevention tips and useful information

Every year more than 500,000 people suffer a burn injury that requires medical treatment in the US alone. More than 4,000 die as a result of their injuries. For more than 30 years the Phoenix Society has partnered with survivors, families, healthcare professionals, burn centers and the fire industry to support recovery, improve the quality of burn care and prevent burn injury.

Promoting prevention efforts is done through distribution of pamphlets, DVD,s and speaker presentations. It is the belief of the Phoenix Society that the more awareness we bring to the public about how to help prevent burn injuries the greater impact we will have in saving lives.
