<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Burn injuries are among the most common injuries occurring in households and workplaces and may lead to serious complications if not treated properly. Limited public knowledge regarding first aid for burns often results in inappropriate treatment that worsens the victim’s condition. This community service program aimed to improve community knowledge and skills regarding burn first aid through health education activities. The implementation methods included preliminary surveys, health counseling, first aid demonstrations, practical simulations, and evaluations using pre-test and post-test methods. The target participants were 30 community members in the assisted area. The results showed an increase in community knowledge, with the average pre-test score rising from 56 to 86 in the post-test. Participants were also able to correctly perform burn first aid procedures according to health standards. Burn first aid education has proven effective in improving community preparedness and safety in handling simple emergency situations in daily life.
