Never leave candles burning unattended. Blow them out before leaving the room or going to bed. A little caution goes a long way! #NationalBurnAwarenessWeek #CandleSafety

Did you know that most burn injuries happen at home? This National Burn Awareness Week, here are three easy steps to keep you and your family safe. #BurnPrevention starts at home! @Ameriburn #NBAW #burnsurvivor #firesafety #fireprevention

Cooking is fun, but it’s also a leading cause of burns in the home! Protect your home, one meal at a time! @Ameriburn hubs.ly/Q031N8mK0 #NBAW #burnsurvivor #firesafety #fireprevention #burnprevention

Frayed cords and overloaded outlets are fire hazards. Inspect your cords and avoid plugging too many devices into one outlet. Stay powered and safe! #NationalBurnAwarenessWeek #ElectricalSafety

Space heaters and fireplaces are cozy but risky. Keep a 3-foot safety zone around them, especially for kids and pets. Stay warm AND safe! #NationalBurnAwarenessWeek #FirePrevention

Prevent burns by setting your water heater to 120°F or lower and always checking water temps during baths. Safety starts at home! #NationalBurnAwarenessWeek #BurnPrevention

Cooking fires are the #1 cause of home fires. Use a timer to remind yourself to check the stove or oven. A few seconds of prevention can save lives! #NationalBurnAwarenessWeek #FirePrevention

🚨This morning, just after 6 am, firemen battled a blaze along the bluff on the 101 in Encinitas, California (south of homeless hotbed Swami's). We demand transparency on how many fires are caused by homeless encampments, their cost to taxpayers (look at all of these fire trucks) and the devastation to homes as well as the environment.

Border 2 Fire Update: 5,389 acres at 10% contained. Fire is being held south of Otay Lakes Road. At approximately 2 pm onshore wind is expected to push fire East/away from the city. The evacuation warning will be maintained as is and will be re-evaluated this afternoon.

Please stay alert and vigilant and if asked to evacuate, follow directions. For more resources on living with wildfires, visit burninstitute.org/fire-preventio… @CAL_FIRE @SDGE @SDFD @thinkchulavista @CityofSanDiego
