Short answer:
Ice, Freezing spray, fluids with very high PH and very low PH.
Explanatory answer:
The most important thing is to cool the burn down.
You should put something on as fast as possible to reduce the temperature in the area of the burn.
A lot of people think that freezing spray or ice is a brilliant choice, but as one apply something that is very cold, the heat in the burn "divides" where as the upper layer get cooled down maybe too much and this "force" push the lower layer down. This can increase the risk of a worse and deeper burn than if one used something that was not as cold.
As of this, you would not want to put on a massive amount of snow. Sprinkle a little bit of snow on, and as it melts, you sprinkle a little bit more on.
Most liquids can absorb much heat. This makes them an ideal choice.
However.. Oils and fat also works as an insulator and could prove much less effective.
As in liquid we can use Water, Milk, fruit juice, cold coffee, cold tea, fizzy drinks. I would happily sacrifice my Pepsi/Cola if that would save me from a bandage or reduce the damage to skin by taking the heat away. Burn wounds just heal up so slowly.
Use your senses though. Do not apply liquids or substances that you know are harmful. They will do much more damage than good, especially on a burn wound.
If you get a burn wound on your skin, then even without available water you can minimize damages.
Green grass. Moist soil (again, use your senses. soil where animals daily get rid of their feces is full of bacteria and the skin is no longer protecting you against these). If you work with metals (as welders often do), just hold your burn wound against a solid piece of cold metal.
One should cool down the area for approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Especially if the burn is over a "large" area.
