Yes. The steps are to remove the source of the burning, run the burn under cool water, and bandage loosely. First degree burns do not normally require any further care unless they appear to be causing difficulty breathing, cover a large surface area of the body, or if the victim is extremely young or old. Keep the wound area clean to prevent infection.

The primary goal of First Aid by definition is to assess and stabilize the patient, and then make and enact a decision about continued care. This means that, as a first aid responder, you aren't really looking to "cure" the patient -- you're addressing an immediate issue that often will require continued professional care (e.g., doctors and such).
