cold water

Cold water stops the "cooking" of your skin. Once it has been cooled down the burn can be assessed for treatment. If it is minor use a water soluable product like Burnfee gel to continue cooling it, and to give relief from pain. If it is more serious, a product called Burn Relief can be used as a treatment and dressing in one. It is also water soluable. If a doctor has to be consulted, and you have used a greasy ointment on your burn, it will have to be scrubbed off, and that will really hurt!

Never put any ointment on a burn that has broken the skin - and never burst blisters. A recommended dressing for a bad burn needing treatment is Cling-film, to keep out infection, but do not apply too much pressure with it.

Does a level 1 first aid course cover rural area first aid?

From looking at outlines of level 1 first aid, it will cover only the basics and will not get into rural, wilderness, or outdoor care. It may cover the basics of burns, frostbite, and poisoning; but that looks more like a level 2. I am not familiar with the levels as these levels are not typically a US first aid designation.
