X01: Exposure to uncontrolled fire, not in building or structure

Exposure to uncontrolled fire, not in a building or structure, refers to a broad range of conditions that result from coming into direct contact with flames, intense heat, or substances produced by burning materials in an open, uncontrolled setting. Such exposures can lead to various injuries, commonly skin burns, which can range from minor (superficial) to severe (deep tissue damage). The respiratory system may also be affected, for instance, through the inhalation of hot gases or smoke, leading to conditions like smoke inhalation injury or thermal burns of the respiratory tract. The degree of injury typically depends on the intensity and duration of exposure to the fire, and the person's proximity to it. Symptoms may include pain, redness, swelling, blistering of the skin, and difficulty breathing, coughing, or chest pain in cases where the respiratory system is involved.
