Put out the flames or remove the victim from the source of the burn. Critical burns need immediate medical attention. Call 911 if a burn victim is having difficulty breathing; more than one part of the body is burned; burns are on the head, neck, hands, feet or genitals; a child or an elderly person has been burned; or chemicals, electricity or explosions have caused burns. Cool the burn. Use large amounts of water to cool the burned area. Do not use ice or ice water other than on small superficial burns; ice causes loss of body heat. Use whatever resources are available -- tub, shower or garden hose. Cover the burn. Use dry, sterile dressings or a clean cloth to cover a burn. Loosely bandage them in place. For minor burns and burns with open blisters that do not require medical care, wash the areas with soap and water. Keep it clean. Put on an antibiotic ointment. Watch for signs of infection.
