Many of those burn injury victims were here in Long Beach, Los Angeles, and surrounding Southern California areas.

How Severe Are Burn Injuries?

Burns can range from minor to severe, and no two burns are alike. Burns are classified to signify the severity:

1. First-degree burns are superficial involving only the outer layer of skin, the epidermis. The burn is red and painful.
2. Second-degree burns go deeper, penetrating the second layer of skin, the dermis. The burn causes blisters and pain, and may result in scarring.
3. Third-degree burns go through the skin and into the tissue. The burn causes charring of the skin and possible extensive scarring.
4. Fourth-degree burns are the most severe. The burn destroys the skin and damages the muscle, fascia or bone.

Four main types of burn injuries:

1. Thermal – caused by contact with flame, heat or scalding liquid
2. Chemical – caused by exposure to a chemical or its fumes
3. Radiation – caused by exposure to radiant energy from sunlight, x-rays or radiation
4. Electrical – caused by contact with electricity or lightening
