In this video, a St John Ambulance trainer demonstrates what to do if someone has suffered a burn or scald and shares signs to identify a burn or scald. Burns and scalds are damages to the skin caused by heat. A burn is usually caused by dry heat, like fire, a hot iron, or sunshine. A scald is caused by wet heat, like steam or a hot cup of tea.
