House fires account for many burn injuries in South Carolina. People also might get burned during recreational activities or in workplace accidents. Even household chores involving gasoline engines, such operating a lawn mower or leaf blower, may lead to a burn injury. A burn injury doesn't have to be a result of contact with fire. For example, you might get a serious burn in a restaurant while drinking a scalding hot beverage. Different types of burns include thermal, chemical and electrical.
Types of Burn Injuries
Examples of different types of burn injuries:
Fire or flame injury — Contact with a heat source or fire can produce a thermal burn. A car accident or explosion at a factory can cause fire burns.
Chemical burns — A chemical burn may be the result of contact with a dangerous household product, or inhalation of fumes.
Scalding injuries — Extremely hot water coming from a tap can cause a scalding injury, which is a thermal burn. Business owners and landlords have a responsibility to maintain a safe water heater temperature.
Electrical burns — An electrical burn occurs when a current passes through a body. This type of injury may be the result of a defective product. It also can occur at the workplace.
Wherever they may occur, burn injuries caused by fire, heat, chemicals, electricity, friction or liquids can be severe and lead to serious scarring and permanent disfigurement.
From First to Fourth Degree, a Burn Injury Can Range in Severity
Burn injuries range from minor to severe:
- First degree — Less serious burns that may include minor pain and redness of the skin
- Second degree — Burns causing blisters and some damage to the skin
- Third degree — Burns that extend into the deeper tissue
- Fourth degree — Deep tissue burns that completely destroy the skin and sometimes damage muscle or bone
