Most reputable sources will specifically say “not cold”. Both first aid trainings I have taken have outlined specific cases where starting with warm and then moving slowly to cool water will help prevent blisters.
They specify cool as the appropriate temperature. They don’t want people putting ice water on burns. The water is mostly to clean the wound and for pain management, as cooling the burns eases the pain temporarily.
I’ve never heard of treating a burn with warm water, that would be painful.
I mean, you definitely don’t want to put hot water on a burn.
Depending on the severity and type of the burn, and the amount of time that has passed (ideally none), actually yes you would.
I’m guessing that hot in this case means slightly warmer than body temperature, not boiling right?
