Hps to avoid
accidents
during holidays
SPECIAL TO
THE CHKONKLE
The holiday season
presents many potential
burn and fire dangers,
whether burning leaves or
cooking for the holidays.
Home to the only bum
center in the region. Wake
Forest Baptist Medical
Center sees patients from
not only North Carolina,
but several other states. In
many cases, these injuries
could have been easily pre
vented.
"More than half of our
bum patients are injured
while burning leaves or
brush, because they made
the mistake of using gaso
line to start the fire," said
James H. Holmes IV,
M.D., bum surgeon and
medical director of Wake
Forest Baptist's Bum
Center. "If you feel you
must use a fire starter - and
I would prefer you don't -
consider using aiesel,
kerosene or charcoal
starter. They will start a fire
just fine and are much safer
than gasoline."
While most first and
second degree burns heal
with simple wound care,
third-degree bums usually
require skin grafts and
expert care from a bum
center.
Holmes also offers
these tips to help ensure
your family has a safe hol
iday season and avoids a
trip to the Bum Center.
When cooking:
?Teach children to stay
away from the stove, the
fireplace and the barbecue
grill. Establish a no-go
zone for children of at least
two feet around these heat
sources.
?Turn the handles of
pots and pans inward over
the stove top so a child
can't reach up and grab the
handles, pulling the hot
ingredients down on them.
?For the same reason,
keep coffee pots and other
hot liquids out of reach and
away from the edge of the
counter.
?Exercise extreme cau
tion if using a turkey fryer
to avoid grease spilling out
onto the flame. Carefully
follow the directions on
proper use.
When decorating:
?Always keep candles
out of the reach of chil
dren. Place them in a stable
holder and extinguish them
before leaving the room or
going to bed.
?Keep Christmas trees
watered to avoid drying
out and keep them away
from heat sources.
When you lose power:
?Never use a gas oven
for heat.
?If using a kerosene
heater, understand the safe
ty recommendations and
follow the instructions.
Keep it from curtains, bed
ding, furniture, etc.
Other burn preven
tion tips:
?Set the temperature on
your hot water heater to
120 degrees or less.
?Make sure your home
is equipped with working
smoke detectors.
?Practice an exit plan
with your family. Taking
the time for a fire drill
could save your life or the
lives of your children.
"I realize that life
comes with risks, but if
people will stop and think
about what they're doing,
they can avoid a horribly
painful injury or even
death," said Holmes.
"Even though we provide
exceptional care here at
Wake Forest Baptist's Burn
Center, you don't want to
be our patient."
