Abstract
There is no detailed information about the care of burns victims, in Europe , in the case of a fire disaster. Several countries have discussed how to t reat burn victims, but only a little is known of their capacity to offer sp ace to other countries in the event of a fire disaster outside the country in question. In Europe, most countries are dependent on England, France and Germany in such cases. Since "Los Alfaques", "Ramstein" and other examples of such disasters, we know how important it is to focus more on burn victi ms in Europe with respect to national and international cooperation.
