Major burns

  • Stop the casualty from panicking, running around, or going outside; any movement or breeze will fan the flames
  • Drop the casualty to the ground, if possible, wrap victim tightly in a fire
  • blanket, or heavy fabric such as a coat, curtain, blanket or rug.
  • DO NOT USE a nylon blanket or an open weave type of any material—acrylic, wool, cotton, or other
  • Roll the casualty along the ground until the flames have been put off
  • Isolate or cover burns sustained by the victim,
  • The caller MUST NOT remove any clothing or try to pop any blister that have formed,
  • The burnt area should be cooled with running cold water for about 10-15 minutes or fanning the area gently
  • Wait for the ambulance to arrive.
