“National Burn Awareness Week is a window of opportunity for organizations to mobilize burn, fire, and life safety educators to unite in sharing a common burn awareness and prevention message in our communities. On July 13, the House Appropriations Committee approved its Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 defense appropriations bill, which provides $10 million in continued annual funding for the Military Burn Research Program. The American Burn Association (ABA), by joint recommendation of the Committees on Burn Prevention and Government Affairs, developed statements to educate the public on the importance of preventing burn injuries and deaths resulting in various ways from military to home oxygen and medical services (oxygen to medical fluids).”
