Depending on the severity and type of the burn, and the amount of time that has passed (ideally none), actually yes you would.

Sounds very counterintuitive, you got a source for that?

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.

YMMV.

Ah okay, yeah using warm water (near human body temperature) makes sense to me. The person you replied to said hot water so I assumed you were talking about that.
