Minor??

I would strongly recommend a vet. For burns, you will likely be given a solution to "bathe" your snake in and possibly meds that are administerd using a syringe. Burns can lead to serious infections which could kill the animal. In the interim, you can apply neosporin and use wax paper as a substrate and maintain consistently higher than normal temps. Be sure to have a cool area but not as cool as normal and not enough to cook the animal.
