You arrive at the scene of an incident. There’s been an engine fire. What should you do to help someone whose hands and arms have been burnt?

Explanation: After ensuring the scene is safe, your priorities are to cool the burns with a clean, cool, non-toxic liquid and then to check the casualty for shock. Don't remove anything sticking to the burns, as this could cause further injury and infection.
