Keep it clean, covered and protected. Unless larger than the palm of the victim's hand, or placed somewhere sensitive(face, joints, genitals) it can then be left to heal on its own. Keep blisters intact for as long as possible.

Can white vinegar help the pain of first degree burns?
In that you're pouring a cool liquid over the burn, there is some relief. However, vinegar is acidic, and is not what I'd choose to treat a 1st degree burn. Cool, damp (with clean water) compresses -- towels even -- laid over the burned area can offer some relief. If the skin surface is not compromised, you might consider an over-the-counter benzocaine or lidocaine ointment. Note that this advice works only for 1st degree burns and not for more severe injuries.
