BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — The Connecticut Burn Center at Bridgeport Hospital joined local and state safety officials on Thursday to raise awareness about preventing fires and burns.

The initiative was launched to support Fire Safe CT, a new statewide effort that delivers resources to local fire officials and the public. It aims to strengthen safety messaging and decrease community risk.

A press conference was held at the hospital to promote safety and recognize Fire Prevention Week, which wraps up on Saturday night.

The Connecticut Burn Center is the only burn center in the state, and those who contribute to the operation take a keen interest in making sure community members know how to avoid situations that could lead to serious injuries, as well as what to do if an injury occurs.
