Fire accidents are unexpected because they cause great destruction and possible loss of life. When a fire accident happens, we generally attempt to treat the victim quickly. However, improper first aid decisions may complicate the injury of the burn victim. Hence, let us have a quick look of the proper first aid methods and materials in this blog:
- Extinguish the fire and do not allow any person to go inside of the particular area.
- Remove smoldering materials and burned clothing.
- Cover the burn area using a clean cloth or non-adhesive bandage.
- Do not use cream, medications, butter, ice, fluffy cotton, ointments, and oil spray.
- Arate the victim’s toes and fingers.
- Call 9-1-1 immediately.
Observe the victims breathing, pulse, and blood pressure continuously until the ambulance arrives.
