Perform First Aid for Burns
Conditions: You see a casualty who is suffering from a burn. You will
need the casualty's emergency bandage or field dressing and canteen of
water.
Standards: Give first aid for a burn without causing further injury to the
casualty. Eliminate the source of the burn, if necessary. Apply a dressing
without pressure over the burn. Ensure that the sides of the dressing are
sealed and the dressing does not slip.
Performance Steps
1. Eliminate the source of the burn.
a. Thermal burns. Remove the casualty from the source of the burn. If the
casualty's clothing is on fire, cover the casualty with a field jacket or any large
piece of nonsynthetic material and roll him/her on the ground to put out the
flames.
CAUTION
Synthetic materials, such as nylon, may melt and cause further injury.
b. Electrical burns. If the casualty is in contact with an electrical source,
turn the electricity off if the switch is nearby. If the electricity cannot be turned
off, use any nonconductive material (rope, clothing, or dry wood) to drag the
casualty away from the source.
WARNING
Do not touch the casualty or the electrical source with your bare
hands. You will be injured too!
