AMBULANCE Victoria is reminding residents in the Loddon Mallee seeking comfort from winter chills to take simple measures to significantly reduce the risk of burn injuries in high-risk places such as kitchens, bathrooms, around heaters and campsites.

AV Loddon Mallee regional and clinical operations director Matt McCrohan said burn prevention should be at the forefront of everyone’s minds, even as we head into the latter part of winter.
