Los Angeles Firefighters held a special celebration for Robert Jones, a four year-old boy who suffered third-degree burns to his hands and fingers earlier this year. 
Los Angeles firefighters were so inspired by the boy's spirit that they pledged to hold a special birthday party for him at the Torrance Memorial Medical Center, where he has undergone three months of treatment - that included painful skin grafts, in the hospital's Burn Center.
Firefighters chipped in with armloads of presents, giving Robert a joyous celebration that included balloons, cake and his very own authentic "Los Angeles Fire Department" jacket and helmet.
Robert was proudly named "Honorary Firefighter of the Day" and given a certificate for a future ride on an LAFD fire boat when he recovers. The Los Angeles Fire Department extends special thanks to the caring staff at Torrance Memorial Medical Center for Robert's remarkable recovery and promising future.

Our friends at SafeKids U.S.A. offer important tips for preventing burns and scalds, while the Education Center at MySafe:LA provides a comprehensive (and free) on-line course for burn prevention.
