Third - degree burns are severe and require immediate medical attention, so calling 911 is appropriate. Second - degree burns can be more serious than first - degree but less than third - degree, and elevating the burned area can help reduce swelling.

Third - degree burn: Call 911.
Second - degree burn: Elevate the burned area.
