Each year in the United States there are over half a million burn injuries that require medical treatment. Thousands of people are hospitalized each year for burn injuries and there are almost 4,000 fire related deaths each year. Burns are classified by severity with first-degree burns being superficial causing injury to the top layer of skin. These are similar to a sunburn and usually don’t require hospitalization.
Second degree burns damage the second layer of skin causing blisters and red patches. Third-degree burns extend to the third layer or subcutaneous layer of skin. This type of burn does require medical attention because the skin does not have the ability to heal itself. This type of injury can be very severe and cause extensive damage, scarring and multiple medical problems.

From the fires burning out in southern California to the explosion of a chemical plant in Texas, there just seem to more fires than usual these days. More and more explosions and fires are being caused by faulty gas lines. These gas lines and the connections were installed many years ago and have become corroded. At some point, pipe lines start to leak and entire neighborhoods can be lost in a moment’s time.
