Burn care in TCCC is very basic. Cover the burn area with dry, sterile dressings. Prevent hypothermia by removing and replacing wet clothing, move to a dry or insulated surface, and cover with anything that will retain heat and keep the casualty dry.

One potential cause of burns is electrical injury. In the case of an electrical injury, secure the power, if possible. Otherwise, remove the casualty from the electrical source using a nonconductive object. Move the casualty to a safe place and begin your rapid casualty assessment as previously discussed.

Pay close attention to their airway, breathing, and always assess for secondary injuries and shock.
