The Stratford Professional Firefighters Burn Foundation launches Anti Scald Campaign
On October 30, 2009, over 18,000 scald prevention post cards were mailed to our Stratford residents. This card is being sent to inform the Stratford public to the dangers of burn injuries caused by hot water exceeding 120 degrees.
Also, this card explains the need for residents to turn the handles around on their pots and pans while cooking on their stoves.
The Stratford Fire Marshal's Office will also be distributing our scald prevention poster to be placed in town buildings and establishments in our town.
Please click on the pictures to the right to view this card and poster!
