Saturday is the start of National Burn Awareness Week, and Washington State Patrol is providing residents with some safety tips.

“Today is the first day of National Burn Awareness Week a time where bring attention to the dangers of burns and provide safety tips you can use at home,” said a spokesperson.

Washington had 35 deaths caused by unintentional burns in 2022, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control.

Here are some safety tips to share with friends and loved ones:

• Start charcoal grills only with fluid labeled as “charcoal starter fluid.”

• Keep gasoline in a secure location, out of the reach of children.

• Use gasoline outdoors only, and store in cool, well-ventilated areas.

• Use containers that have been listed, labeled, or approved for gasoline.

• If you spill a flammable liquid on your clothing, place the clothing outside to dry before laundering.

• Oily and solvent-wet rags can combust without a heat source – store them in a tightly sealed metal container or hang them outside to dry in a cool, shady location away from structures before discarding them.
