Default quick treatment for burns was Guess the cause of the accident?

Without spending a half hour researching why ice cold water really
works on burns if done Immediately...Ill leave that up to you.


I was taught that this approach was vital, in order to simply "get the heat
out of the tissue" before it could actually wreak its havoc.

Ice itself being no good, because it doesn't make sufficient contact and
burns in its own right. Flowing cold water to remove the heat ASAP is the
ticket indeed.

Still hurts like buggery when you stop, 'though.
