Arkansas: Burn Injury Basics
A burn injury can be the tragic and painful result of any situation where there is fire, or even areas where there are chemicals in the air. Numerous chemicals can burn both the skin and lungs if inhaled. People can be burned in their home, on the job, or even in the car. Arkansas burn injuries can occur in many locations and may be attributed to a variety of causes, including:
- Apartment or house fires
- Electrocution and electrical accidents
- Careless smoking
- Missing or malfunctioning fire escapes, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and other fire safety devices
- Defective products, such as curling irons, electric blankets, and space heaters
- Cooking accidents
- Hot liquids
- Improperly maintained heating equipment
- Car fires caused by defective fuel delivery systems or leaking gas tanks
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Exploding furnaces, boilers, stoves, or other appliances
- Refinery and plant explosions
