Fire and Burn Safety
for Older Adults
    (begin with introduction suited to the audience and occasion)
     Our population is growing older.  Many of older adults are just as healthy and alert as ever.  Others are increasingly at risk of fire and burn injury.  We hope our program will make you more aware of these hazards and help you reduce them, in the lives of older adults.
(Bridge) This program was prepared by professionals who are familiar with the fire and burn risks that face older adults.  Who would you expect that to be?
