What's the emergency treatment for burns?

It is critical to act quickly for burns. If the burn is on a small part of the body, run cool, clean water over the area. Apply a sterile dressing over the burn. Ice packs can be applied to the area to protect the skin and nerve endings. Severe burns are life-threatening and emergency medical services should be notified as soon as possible for transport to a hospital.
