This study reviewed 54 burn injuries from bonfires and barbecues over 10 years. These incidents accounted for a small fraction of total burn admissions at the regional burns unit.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma surgery
  • Burn care
  • Public health

Background:

  • Bonfires and barbecues are common recreational activities.
  • Burn injuries associated with these activities pose a public health concern.
  • Understanding the epidemiology of these burns is crucial for prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze burn injuries related to bonfires and barbecues.
  • To determine the incidence of these injuries over a decade.
  • To assess their contribution to overall burn admissions.

Main Methods:

  • A 10-year retrospective study.
  • Data collected from a regional burns unit.
  • Patient records were reviewed to identify relevant cases.

Main Results:

  • Fifty-four patients with burn injuries from bonfires/barbecues were identified.
  • These cases represented 2.16% of all burn admissions.
  • The study period spanned 10 years.

Conclusions:

  • Burn injuries from bonfires and barbecues are infrequent but notable.
  • Further research into prevention strategies may be warranted.
  • Regional burns units should be aware of this injury pattern.
