In medicine, a burn is a type of injury to the skin caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, or radiation (an example of the latter is sunburn).
Immediate first aid for burns consists of immersing the injured area in cool clean water to cool the injured tissues.
There are three degrees of burns.
Burns that injure the tissues underlying the skin, such as the muscles or bones, are sometimes characterized as "fourth-degree burns".
- First-degree burns are usually limited to redness and pain at the site
- Second-degree burns additionally have blistering of the skin
- Third-degree burns additionally have charring of the skin (or eschar formation).
Serious burns, especially if they cover large areas of the body, can cause death.
Any hint of burn injury to the lungs, for example through smoke inhalation, is a medical emergency.
Survival of severe burn injuries is markedly improved if the patient is treated in a specialized burn center rather than a hospital.
Scalding is a specific type of burning that caused by non-solid hot material: liquid and/or steam, usually water and vapour, sometimes oil (especially for cooks). It is usually regional and usually does not cause death.

A CD burner is an external writable CD-drive that can be attached to a computer. It lets you write and read files from a computer on to compact disk media, and is standard equipment in most new computers. The burner describes the process of the laser burning the organic dye substrate in the disk, creating a nonreflective pit signifying a bit state.Burners can write CDs at multiple speeds. At 1x speed, for example, the CD spins at the same rate as the player reading it, taking you 60 minutes to record 60 minutes of data. At 2x it will take you half an hour, and so on.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Combustion or burning is a chemical reaction in which a fuel combines with oxygen (O2), releasing heat and producing an oxide. The most common types of fuel are organic materials containing carbon and hydrogen, from which the waste products are typically carbon monoxide (CO) or carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O) and sometimes smoke.
The process of destroying unwanted materials by burning is known as incineration. Incineration is done on a small scale by individuals, and on a large scale by industry.
For burn injuries, see burn.
