According to the American Burn Association 2007, each year there are 1.1 million burn injuries in the United States which require treatment. Approximately 45,000 of these injuries require hospitalization and approximately 4,500 of these victims die. More than 60% of those hospitalized require admission to a specialized burn center. Some of these burns can be the result of a building fire or even a house fire. However, we’d expect the number of people burnt in a building fire to be lowered due to new fire safety methods, such as fire proof doors. There are multiple ways an individual can be burnt, it’s doesn’t just have to be directly from a building fire.
