Stop, Drop, Roll and Cool
The Stop, Drop, Roll and Cool procedure should be used to extinguish flames and lessen burn injuries if your clothing catches fire. If your clothes catch fire:
Stop: Immediately where you are.
Drop: To the ground.
Roll: Over and over, covering your face and mouth with your hands (this prevents flames from burning your face and smoke from entering your lungs). Roll until the flames are extinguished.
Cool: The burn with cool water for 10-15 minutes. Get help from an adult, and if needed, see a doctor.
