Keep flammable liquids out of sight and limit access. Things like gasoline and hair spray are highly dangerous around sparks or flames. Burn Treatment Stop the burning. Remove the heat source, such as clothing or jewelry. Cool minor burns quickly with cool tap water, not ice, ointments or butter.
Cool water stops the burning process and decreases pain and swelling.
If clothing is stuck to the burn, do not remove it. Instead, carefully cut around the stuck fabric to remove loose fabric. Do not break blisters. For serious burns, go to the hospital immediately. Delaying burn treatment worsens the injury.
