#AARBF’s Executive Director, Jennifer Radics-Johnson, is in Washington DC this week for the American Burn Association’s (@Ameriburn) National Leadership Conference. Great to be here with California burn units and burn care professionals as well!
Today’s family would like to thank you for providing housing while 2 family members are being treated at the burn unit. Please be careful when lighting open flame candles near essential oils or flammable liquids.
#NotYourTurnToBurn - Require Flame Arresters be required on consumer producst. The Portable Fuel Container Safety Act must pass The Senate this year to stop flashback vapor explosions happening to consumers in Homes, Schools and Social Gatherings.
October 6-12 is Fire Prevention Week. This year's focus is on planning your escape routes if your home catches on fire. Having an escape plan saves lives. Remember - not every hero wears a cape. Plan and practice your escape.
Today, I was proud to see the House pass my bipartisan bill, the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act, to help prevent these terrible accidents and I look forward to swift consideration in the Senate. Watch more from the House Floor. https://t.co/eDcwSbQrtf
Today was a huge victory for us and all consumer safety advocates. The Portable Fuel Container Safety Act (H.R. 806) passed unanimously in the House. A huge thank you to @RepThompson and @RepDaveJoyce for their leadership on this issue. #NYTTB
It’s that time of the year again!
Join us at @SpauldingRehab on Saturday, September 28th for the Burn Survivors of New England Walk for Advocacy and Awareness!
