The American Burn Association estimates that there are more than 1 million burn injuries every year, and 500,000 burn injuries require medical treatment. They estimate 4,000 burns per year result in death, of which 3,500 are from fires and the other 500 are from auto and plane crashes, electricity, chemicals, hot liquids, and other types of burns.

Burn injuries can cause severe pain, permanent cosmetic disfigurement and life-long emotional distress. Burn victims often require long-term medical care. Serious burn victims are often treated with skin grafts, and because skin grafts do not grow, multiple surgeries may be required. Serious burns can result from automobile accidents, building fires, scalding/hot water, electrical accidents, lighters and matches, and industrial accidents.
