AB  - The  incidence  of  burn  injuries  in  the  United  States  and  Canada  is  1.55  million  injuries  per  year  (Box  20.1).  Many,  including  the  authors  of  this  chapter,  feel  that  this  number  is  grossly  underreported.  The  majority  of  the  fatalities  associated  with  burn  injuries  occur  before  rescue  personnel  can  extricate  victims  from  homes,  buildings,  or  motor  vehicles.  It  has  been  reported  that  75%  of  burn  injuries  occur  in  or  around  the  home.  A  summary  of  burn  etiologies  is  presented  in  Table  20.1.
