Abstract: Burn injury represents a major health problem with both clinical and medicolegal implications, particularly when related to accidents or criminal incidents. This study aimed to describe the profile of burn injury cases at Rumah Sakit Bhayangkara Tingkat III Manado in 2023–2024. This was a descriptive and retrospective study based on secondary data obtained from medical records of burn cases treated during the study period. The results showed a total of 16 burn cases, with 12 patients (75%) survived and four patients (25%) died. The highest number of cases occurred in 2024 (62.5%). The most common cause of burns was fire (62.5%), followed by electricity and hot liquids (12.5% each), and explosion (6.3%). Based on total body surface area, the most frequent category was 10–29% (31.3%), and the most common burn degree was second-degree burns (31.3%). Most patients were adults aged 18–59 years (62.5%), and males constituted the majority (75%). All patients were Indonesian citizens residing in Manado. In conclusion, burn injuries in Manado most commonly affect adult males and are primarily caused by fire. These findings highlight the need for enhanced safety education in both workplace and domestic settings, as well as improved medicolegal documentation to support forensic analysis and inform public health policies.
