The best first aid treatment for a burn is to immediatelyflood it with cold water. Don't delay - seconds count. Lots of water and keep it going. When it starts to ache a bit and you think you've had enough, don't stop. If you ever stop by a fire scene, or watch firefighters on the evening news and see one man soaking another by turning a fire-hose on him, it's not a fight and not a game. One man has burns and the other is working to minimise his injuries. On occasion 3rd degree burns (that is where the skin is actually charred black) are reduced to a small black patch surrounded by the red skin typical of first degree burns, accompanied by only minimal discomfort.
