title: Burns management in a disaster.
abstract: The 1983 bushfires in Victoria and South Australia highlighted the need for discussion of the management of burns injuries in a disaster. The prospect of being faced suddenly with 100 or more burnt patients is a nightmare but it has happened in other parts of the world; the importance of triage is stressed in the plans for such a disaster.
