Newbie Question Regarding Variables

Lets say i was playing with fire.
How to I activate a variable in the way as below?

var health = 100;

var burn = health - 20;

The two variables health & Burn now this is what i want to do.

burn

yield WaitForSeconds (5);

burn

yield WaitForSeconds (5);

Anything else doesn’t matter i just want to know how to DO burn variable like activate it

var healt = 100;
var burnDamage = 20;
var cooldown = 5.0;
var burning = false;
function Update()
{
if(burning)
{
cooldown -= Time.deltaTime;
if(cooldown <= 0)
{
cooldown = 5.0;
health -= burnDamage;
}
}
}
function OnTriggerEnter(collider : Collision)
{
(if(collider.tag == “Fire”))
{
burning = true;
}

}
unction OnTriggerExit()
{  
    burning = false;            
}

var health : int;
var burn : boolean;

function Start()
{
health = 100;
burn = false;
}

function Update()
{
Burn_Player();
}

function Burn_Player()
{
if(burn)
{
health+= -20;
yield WaitForSeconds (5);
}
}
