Depending on how severe the burns are it might be best to defer to a hospital doctor rather than trying to treat burns at home. However, if the burns are minor there are first aid procedures that one can perform when dealing with a burn. The first thing to do is immediately stop the fire at its source so that you do not have a chance of getting burnt more.

Next you will want to assess what kind of burn you are dealing with in order to proceed with the best treatment. Cold temperature burns can be soothed by blowing warm air on them or putting the part of your body that is affected in warm water. Hot temperature burns are just the opposite and can be soothed with cool water.
