On Fires and Burns

Due to the recent fire hazards, it is a good idea to know some prevent methods and treatment on burns.

First, rule if you catch fire NEVER run because you will feed the fire with more oxygen.
Just stop and roll on the ground (if you can cover yourself with a blank or a cloth it will be better).

See the photo below.

Now if you have burns (especially second and third degrees) just apply cold/cool running water and cover it with a cling film. Never put ointments or any substance on them (even if it was a first degree burn covering large areas). It is important to remember that these sort of burns require immediate medical intervention.
