Chief William Miller and the Hopkinton Fire Department would like to provide safety tips to residents as a part of National Burn Awareness Week.

Burn Awareness Week, organized by the American Burn Association (ABA), began this year on Sunday, Feb. 5 and ends on Saturday, Feb. 11. This annual campaign serves as an opportunity for fire officials to share common burn prevention messages with their communities.

This year's Burn Awareness Week theme is "Hot Liquids Burn Like Fire!" in an effort to remind people of simple but important steps to take to prevent scald injuries.
