FIRST AID FOR BURNS

1. STOP THE BURNING PROCESS
    Remove the source of heat...  if clothes catch on fire,"STOP, DROP & ROLL!" to smother the flames.

2. REMOVE ALL BURNED     CLOTHING
    Clothing may retain heat and cause a deeper injury. If clothing adheres to the skin, cut or tear around the adherent area  to preserve good skin tissue.

3. POUR COOL RUNNING WATER OVER THE BURNED AREA
    Keep pouring the cool water for at least 3-5 minutes for a burn or for 30-40 minutes for a chemical injury. DO NOT PACK THE BURNED AREAS IN ICE! Doing so may increase the extent of the injury.

4. REMOVE ALL JEWELRY, BELTS, TIGHT CLOTHING, ETC.
 from over the burned areas and  from around the victim's neck  since swelling of burned areas  occurs immediately.

5. DO NOT APPLY OINTMENTS OR BUTTER TO WOUNDS
    Doing so may cause infection     due to their oil base and     convert the wounds to deeper     injury.

6. COVER BURNS WITH A SOFT, CLEAN, DRY DRESSING OR BANDAGE.

7. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
