Raising a casualty's legs during shock is aimed at promoting blood flow to vital organs, particularly the heart and brain. This position, often referred to as the "shock position," helps increase venous return to the heart, potentially improving cardiac output and stabilizing blood pressure. However, it's important to assess the individual situation, as certain types of shock may require different interventions. Always seek professional medical assistance in emergencies.

The chances are quite high as the burn may cause bleeding (internal or external) and this loss of blood will deprive the vital organs of oxygen and cause shock. The best treatment would be to treat the burn and then lie the casualty down and raise the legs if the injury allows it. The idea is to get the blood to circulate around the vital organs rather than the legs.
