Recently, Yang Yongjing, a dispatcher of the 120 Dispatching Command Center  of Beijing Emergency Center, received a call for help from a lady who  accidentally burned her hands in putting out the fire in the pan while she was  cooking. It is necessary to control the oil temperature when cooking. When the  oil pan catches fire, you should stay calm, quickly cover the burning pan with a  lid, and turn off the gas stove, so that the fire would be put out due to lack  of oxygen. Special attention must be paid to never pour water into the burning  oil pan. Cold water and hot oil will splash the hot oil and cause fire or  personal injury. Burns are a common accidental injury. Mild burns can be treated  on your own and heal quickly. However, improper treatment of severe burns will  not only endanger life, but also lead to scars and disabilities. Mild burns  (scalds) are usually caused by accidents in life. Mild burns are usually  diagnosed as first-degree burns or second-degree burns, and the burn area is  less than 1%. After being burned (scalded), you should rinse the burned  (scalded) limb immediately with cold water, or soak it in clean cold water until  there is no pain or feeling of burning. For the injury in the trunk or other  body parts, cold compresses can be used to relieve pain and avoid deterioration  of the injury. Clothes worn when burned (scalded) should be removed or carefully  removed after cutting with scissors after rinsing cold water. After rinsing with  clean water, you could apply scald medicine to the area with first-degree burns.  You should not apply toothpaste, soy sauce and other folk remedies. Do not  squeeze the blisters when there are blisters on second-degree burns. When the  blister is too big and you are worried that it will rupture on its own and  aggravate the injury, you can use a sewing needle (75% alcohol disinfection) to  pierce the base of the blister and slowly release the blister fluid and seek  medical treatment as soon as possible, but do not cut off the epidermis.
