Do you have an e-bike or scooter in your home? Lithium ion batteries pose a serious risk of fire in your home. Low quality components and improper charging can cause batteries to overheat and ignite. #BeBurnsAware Watch Scotts difficult story below youtu.be/7TlvrfQKkBk

Hot water can pose a real danger. Bath and shower water can cause such bad burns that children need years of treatment. It only takes one second to get a deep burn in hot water when the water temperature is at 70°C. 🛁🚿🧼 #BeBurnsAware British Burn Assoc. MFT NHS Wythenshawe Hospital
