Beach-fire burns in San Diego County.
In September and October 1986, seven patients were burned in beach fires in San Diego County; this prompted us to review our past patients who suffered beach-fire burns. A review of our registry revealed an additional 15 patients who had been burned in beach fires in the past 2 years. Four such cases are summarized, and common features are described.
