Burn Surge
Burn care resources are limited and highly specialized. During a mass casualty incident with large numbers of burn patients, additional resources may be needed to expand the ability to provide burn care stabilization.
| ABA Verified Burn Centers | Location | Contact Information |
|---|---|---|
| Hennepin County Medical Center - Burn Center | Minneapolis, Minn. | 1-800-424-4262 or 612-873-4262 |
| Regions Hospital Burn Center | Saint Paul, Minn. | 1-800-922-2876 (BURN) |
To increase specialized burn care in the state, hospitals across the state may serve as a Burn Surge Facility until a bed at an American Burn Association (ABA) Verified Burn Center either in Minnesota or across state borders is available.
Burn surge educational materials below are intended for health care providers and local, regional and state mass casualty burn surge incident responders.

This plan addresses operations in a statewide response to a burn incident.
Toolkit
These materials were developed by the Minnesota ABA Verified Burn Centers—Hennepin County Medical Center and Regions Hospital—in conjunction with the Minnesota Department of Health to be used during a burn surge response. They are recommendations for patients being treated for burns at a Burn Surge Facility and do not constitute medical advice from the Minnesota Department of Health. It is best practice for Burn Surge Facilities to familiarize their staff with these materials prior to an incident occurring.
