First aid is only immediate and temporary assistance while one waits for medical help to arrive.

For most injury situations, first aid is the best course of action.

The situation, type of severity of the injury, life-threatening nature of the injury and size of your detail will all factor into the decision of how to provide first aid.

Always one should get qualified medical help as soon as possible for every firstaid and medical emergency

For first and second degree burns(redness and blisters), you can run the burn under cool water. You can also apply an ice pack or some Aloe Vera gel/spray. For third and electrical burns(charred/burned skin), you call 911. Then you cover the burn with a sterile bandage. DO NOT apply ointments, gels, or creams. DO NOT run under water or apply ice. DO NOT attempt to remove the clothing from affected area.
