There are the three layers of the skin epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. Just after this there is layer of subcutaneous tissues then below that there are muscles and bones. The severity of the burn is judged on the basis of the damage incurred upon the epidermis, and then dermis can be affected and this can continue unto the bones that fall in the last, but bones and muscles are involved in the worst case scenario, to avoid this all go for the good Fire Companies or the Fire fighting contractors to serve the objective of perfect fire maintenance.

The top most layers of the skin is called epidermis and when only the top layer is affected by heat is called the first degree burn for example the sun burn is the first degree burn.
