CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- Chesterfield County Fire and EMS recently released a safety message regarding the dangers of using tabletop fire pots. According to officials, 60 injuries and two deaths throughout the past several years -- including several people injured out of Chesterfield County -- were caused by the use of tabletop fire pots. The dangers of fire pots have prompted the Consumer Product Safety Commission to ask people to stop buying them, and businesses to stop selling them, according to Chesterfield Fire and EMS. "These inadvertent fires can result in significant injury," said Dr. Zach Brown, a surgeon with Evans-Haynes Burn Center at VCU. "We've seen four patients with burns ranging from 20% of their body area up to 60% of their body area, requiring multiple surgeries, grafting and prolonged hospital stays up to months in length." A video released by Chesterfield Fire and EMS demonstrates that these fire pots can look as though they are not lit, when in actuality they are. When the fuel for the fire pots gets low, some people assume the flame is out, prompting them to put fuel directly into the pot. However, this can cause the fire to travel back into the fuel bottle, expand and shoot out of the container. Officials urge consumers that use this product to get fuel that has a lid with a flame arrester, functioning like a small grate, which reduces the chance of the flame being able to get back inside the container.
