Firefighters Burn Institute Regional Burn Center at UC Davis Medical Center

Specialized adult burn treatment for patients over 18, including care for first-, second-, and third-degree burns; scald, chemical, electrical, and flame injuries; inhalation injury; burn reconstruction; toxic epidermal necrolysis/Stevens-Johnson syndrome; purpura fulminans; wound care; and outpatient follow-up.

A survivor-support pathway coordinated through the burn center, including aftercare information, Phoenix SOAR peer mentoring, BurnNet survivor support groups, virtual meetings, community activities, BurnNet News, and connections to burn-recovery resources.

A monthly email newsletter containing inspirational articles and current information about BurnNet meetings, events, and recovery and aftercare topics.

A recurring virtual support group providing a safe environment for burn survivors, family members, caregivers, and significant others, with discussion focused on support, reintegration, and personal growth. The official page lists a first-Thursday Zoom meeting from 6:00–7:30 p.m. Pacific and states that interested participants must pre-register to obtain access.

An annual burn-recovery camp for young burn survivors, described as serving children ages six through seventeen who have completed first grade. Activities include outdoor recreation, arts and crafts, swimming, bicycling, hiking, kayaking, team building, and social activities.

An annual three-day burn-recovery camp for preschool-aged burn survivors ages three through six and their families, intended to help children and families understand and cope with physical and emotional challenges associated with burn recovery.

A virtual meeting on Zoom featuring a guest contributor from UC Davis. The official page lists the second Thursday of the month from 12:00–12:30 p.m. Pacific and requires sign-up for the Zoom link.

A free one-on-one peer-support and mentoring resource connecting burn survivors and family members with trained peer supporters. The official UC Davis page states that it is available both to people currently recovering and to people who healed years earlier but never had the opportunity to speak with someone with a similar experience.

A professional education course covering immediate care of adult and pediatric burn patients during the first 24 hours after injury, including triage, stabilization, transfer, treatment, and mass-casualty preparedness. It is relevant to clinicians, emergency responders, firefighters, and other professionals rather than a direct survivor service.

The official burn-resources page lists three recovery offerings: Beyond Surviving Adult Burn Recovery Retreat for adult survivors and significant others; Firefighters Kids Camp for young burn survivors ages 6 through 17 who have completed first grade; and Little Heroes Preschool Burn Camp for preschool burn survivors ages 3 through 6 and their families. The page directs users to the Firefighters Burn Institute for current information.

A monthly support meeting for burn survivors and survivors of necrotizing fasciitis, families, and significant others. The UC Davis patient-support page describes discussion of injury-related concerns, rehabilitation, recovery, and occasional specialist presentations. That page gives an in-person hospital location and a first-Thursday evening schedule, while the newer burn-resources page lists current Zoom-only BurnNet meetings; the relationship between the older in-person listing and the current virtual format should be human-reviewed.

Activities offered in collaboration with the Firefighters Burn Institute to help patients and survivors reconnect with their communities, including stand-up paddleboarding, group lunches, walking groups, and community picnics.
