AB  - This  chapter  covers  damage  to  a  body  resulting  from  acute  exposure  to  thermal  energy—that  is  burns  and  scalds,  but  also  smoke  inhalation.  Further,  this  review  focuses  on  unintentional  fire  and  burn  injuries.  Intentional  burn  injuries  (self-inflicted  or  homicidal)  happen  worldwide,1,2  but  are  especially  concerning  in  certain  regions  in  the  world,  particularly  among  young  women.1,3  The  prevention  of  intentional  burn  injuries  are  more  appropriately  covered  by  interventions  related  to  violence  and  self-directed  harm.
