1st degree: Epidermis is destroyed, usually appears as reddened skin and painful; 2nd degree: Epidermis and partial or total dermis destruction, forms blisters in skin; 3rd degree: destroyed down through subcutaneous adipose tissue, usually appears black, often fatal; 4th degree:, burns down to organs and/or bones, almost always fatal.

Correct, Unome!
There is just one detail I'd like to add to 3rd degree burns, which is that nerves are destroyed.
But yeah, other than that, good answer!
