Gasoline Safety

Reckless use and improper storage of gasoline lead to thousands of young children and teens being burned every year. Shriners International and Shriners Hospitals for Children® are addressing these dangers as part of their Burn Awareness campaign.

Burn Awareness Week is a perfect time to take advantage of the complimentary burn prevention materials available from Shriners Hospitals for Children, including burn prevention activity books, posters and fact sheets.
