Three days ago there was a Lpg gas explosion in our street. Whit a lpg tank in garden. One person was really Burnt. And they put them under warm water in the bath.

 

From a NHS web site:

 

First Aid for Burns

 

Stop the burning process as soon as possible. This may mean removing the person from the area, dousing flames with water, or smothering flames with a blanket. Do not put yourself at risk of getting burnt as well.

Remove any clothing or jewellery near the burnt area of skin, including babies' nappies. But do not try to remove anything that's stuck to the burnt skin, as this could cause more damage.

Cool the burn with cool or lukewarm running water for 20 minutes as soon as possible after the injury. Never use ice, iced water, or any creams or greasy substances like butter.

Keep yourself or the person warm. Use a blanket or layers of clothing, but avoid putting them on the injured area. Keeping warm will prevent hypothermia, where a person's body temperature drops below 35C (95F). This is a risk if you're cooling a large burnt area, particularly in young children and elderly people.

 

Generally this is aimed at small burn areas but if it involves huge areas then the same applies but you would use a bath with luke warm water. A person might die of shock if immersed in cold water!
