This Burn Resource Manual has been created as a tool for use by the Emergency Departments in all Los Angeles County Hospitals. The materials were developed and/or selected from the burn literature by a Burn Task Force. This Burn Task Force was created by the Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency. This multi-disciplinary group included the Medical Directors and Administrative Nurses from the three burn centers in Los Angeles County, one center in Orange County and one center in San Bernardino county and representatives of the Emergency Medical Services Agency.
