National Burn Awareness Week

National Burn Awareness Week, observed in February, aims to educate the public about burn prevention and treatment. This week highlights the causes of burns—from scalds and thermal burns to chemical and electrical injuries—and promotes safety practices to prevent burn injuries.

US Safety Kits supports this vital initiative with a range of promotional products and emergency supplies designed to raise awareness and equip individuals, families and organizations with tools for burn prevention and response. Choose from customizable personal first aid kits (available in waterproof, budget and compact versions), drawstring backpacks with zippered pockets, and Quick Go first aid kits that are ideal for giveaways.

Burn-Specific Care

For burn-specific care, explore Ouch Pouch Max kits, ANSI Class A 10-Person Softpack kits, American Red Cross Deluxe Burn Emergency Responder Packs and hard-sided weatherproof burn kits. There’s even a set of emergency fire blankets, perfect for extinguishing small fires and providing immediate treatment.

Events & Outreach

These products help you educate your community about burn hazards and ensure readiness. Imprinted kits can feature your logo, making them perfect for fire department open houses, school safety fairs, hospital outreach events and corporate wellness programs. Each kit includes burn dressings, gauze, nitrile gloves and other essentials to treat minor burns until professional care arrives.

By distributing branded first aid kits and burn responder packs during National Burn Awareness Week, you not only spread crucial burn-prevention messages but also equip recipients with the resources to respond quickly and effectively.

FAQ

Why should every vehicle and home have a burn first aid kit on hand?

A burn can result from hot liquids, chemicals, electricity, sun exposure or fire, and these injuries range from minor to life-threatening. When a burn occurs, prompt first aid—cooling the area with running water, removing tight clothing or jewelry and covering the wound with a clean, non-stick bandage—can limit tissue damage and promote healing. Having a dedicated burn first aid kit at home and in your vehicle ensures you have the right tools to respond immediately.

Kits like the American Red Cross Deluxe Burn Emergency Responder Pack and weatherproof burn kits include burn dressings, sterile non-stick pads and cooling gels that help soothe the injury and reduce infection risk until professional care is available. Compact kits can be stored in a glove compartment or pantry and provide peace of mind on road trips, at job sites or during outdoor activities.
