Secure airway: Intubation is to make sure the airway remains open so it would depend upon the injuries.

Depends...: It all depends on how severe are these burns and how much smoke was inhaled by the affected person. In cases where there is significant breathing compromise then it is necessary in order to keep the person safe and alive.
