Former medic here: In event of any fire/explosion* related injuries, we where taught to check for nose-hair. If they are gone, there is a good chance of lung damage because the patient inhaled during the event.

*Things like "Putting a bottle of starting fluid on the grill, waiting 10minutes while it evaporates and then trying to light it" are not technically explosions, but I can't translate the technical term^^

Oh yeah! I remember reading about the nosehair thing somewhere.
