Hi, Please be cautious about throwing flour on any flames, there's quite a history of explosions in flour mills due to the amount of flour in the air suddenly igniting. This lead to new laws governing the amount of flour dust allowed in the mills.
Since I live with wood heat - i.e. a wood stove - I've had occasion to find this out by tossing in flour and getting a pretty good "WHOOSH"! I've never tried flour for burns, but I have used ice-water which kills the pain and seems to help with rapid healing.
