ANSWER · B
The safest way to rescue a full-body burn victim is to spray cold water on them to extinguish the fire. Other methods may harm or worsen the patient. After burning, the skin is damaged. Pathogens on sand may infect the skin, and follow-up cleaning becomes difficult. Fire extinguisher chemicals may also damage burned skin, and removing burned clothing can cause further injury.
