Just before the Midnight on Aug. 12th, 2015, a big explosion（大爆炸）hit the port City of Tianjin, China. Lots of people were injured by the explosion. Some of them suffered from chemical burns（灼伤）.
Put on gloves or protection suit（防护衣）. If possible. Avoid exposing yourself to chemical.
Keep the burn area in cold water for at least 20 minutes.
Don't use a strong stream（水流） of water, if possible.
Don't try to deal the burn area with other ways before you see a doctor.
Don't put antibiotic ointment（抗生素药膏） on the burn. This could cause a chemical Reaction（化学反应） that worsens the burn.
You can cover a small burn with dry, sterile gauze
（消毒纱布）or clean cloth to protect it from being infected（感染）.
Though we can deal with this emergency by ourselves. We are not the doctors. So we must see the doctors for help us with the burn. The sooner you see the doctor, the safer you will be.
