Anyone know at what temperature skin melts?

i was involved with the extinguishment of a two story house fire this morning, and it went fantastically. until, that is, my bunker gear failed and 900 degree ambient air coursed through a slit in my flame coat, leaving second degree burns all over my shoulder. it hurt. a lot. i got home about an hour ago, popped the blisters, scraped out the wound with anti-bacterial soap and a sponge, covered it with some sterile bandages, and now im sitting here typing this with a bag of frozen, organic corn wrapped around it to control the pain and heat still radiating from it. ahh, i love my job!



mmm, pretty in pink
