Meeker Volunteer Fire & Rescue Urges Meeker Residents      to “Stay Fire Smart! Don’t Get Burned.”
       Once achild touches ahot stove, asthe cliché goes—he learns his lesson, stayawayfrom ahot

 stove. This cliché does not take into account the pain and suffering from burns and burns should       not be part of the learning process.

That’s why Meeker Volunteer Fire & Rescue is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for Fire Prevention Week 2009 – October 4-10 – to urge Meeker residents to “Stay Fire Smart! Don’t Get Burned.” This year’s campaign focuses on ways to keep homes caring for your family,Family Health is now fire safe and prevent painful burns. Additionally, fire safety educators will be teaching preschool located on the second level – 5th grade students how to plan and practice escape from a home in case a fire occurs. close to home of the Southwest Addition of Grand River Hospital The statistics are staggering. Each year roughly 3,000 people die as a result of home fires and and Medical Center burns, and more than 200,000 individuals are seen in the nation’s emergency rooms for burn campus injuries.

“The most common types of burn injuries result from contact burns, scalds and fire or flame burns,” said Steve Allen, Fire Chief. “Burns are painful and can result in serious scarring and even death. When we take extra caution in our homes to ensure that the curling iron is out of children’s reach or pot handles are turned away from the edge of the stove, such injuries are entirely preventable. Keeping our homes safe from fire and preventing devastating burn injuries is a healthy change we can make happen.”

By following simple safety rules, you can “Stay Fire Smart! Don’t Get Burned.” • Keep hot foods and liquids away from tables and counter edges so they cannot be pulled or knocked over. • Have a 3-foot “kid-free” zone around the stove. • Never hold a child in your arms while preparing hot food or drinking a hot beverage. • Be careful when using things that get hot such as curling irons, oven, irons, lamps, heaters. • Install tamper-resistant receptacles to prevent a child from sticking an object in the out- exceptional let. • Never leave a child alone in a room with a lit candle, portable heater, lit fireplace or healthcare, locally stove, or where a hot appliance might be in use. • Wear short or close-fitting sleeves when cooking. • Set your hot water temperature no higher than 120 degrees. Grand River Hospital • Install anti-scald valves on shower heads and faucets. Fire Prevention Week is actively supported by fire departments across the country. For 85 years and Medical Center fire departments have observed Fire Prevention Week, making it the longest running public Family Health, Internal Medicine and Women’s Health health and safety observance on record.  $LUSRUW 5RDG ‡ 5LÁH &RORUDGR  )RU LQIRUPDWLRQ FDOO  RU YLVLW www.grhd.org RIO BLANCO HERALD TIMES 8A " SMOKING RIVER POW WOW Thursday, October 1, 2009
