Photos posted by Natasha Trevethan show the burnt feet of the boy, who had walked barefoot on the kitchen tiles. The child, as the newspaper reports The sun, was rushed to hospital. There he received treatment for his burns.

On her Facebook account, the woman said: “I thought about sharing our ordeal on Sunday with our poor boy to raise awareness. We never thought this could be the result of our kitchen flooring. “

As he commented, the child did not have the reflections necessary to come out of the hot tiles, overheated by the reflection of the sun. And he stayed up and cried until he was saved by his mother. The little one is only 22 months old.

“I would hate to have this happen to someone else’s baby,” the woman said.

An unusual heat wave

Britain and Europe in general are going through a heat wave with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees. Experts have warned that at this temperature tiles exposed to the sun can reach 62 degrees.

A similar situation is seen in Canada and the United States, where record temperatures have been recorded in recent weeks that have caused large forest fires and dozens of heat stroke deaths, especially among the elderly.

Just a few days ago, the London Fire Department had to put out a fire in a house caused by sunlight refracted through the glass of a balcony. The heat ignited the boxes and the flames spread throughout the house. For this reason, a warning has been issued to be aware of this type of situation.

“The sun is especially strong during these summer months, but fires caused by refracted and reflected sunlight can occur year round and are actually quite common.“, alerted a firefighter spokesperson.

And he added: “Our advice is to make sure to keep mirrors, glass, glass trim and other reflective items out of direct sunlight at all times. “
