Stop, Drop, and Roll

If your clothing catches fire, or the clothing of a family member or friend, immediate action is required. Do not run for help. Immediately drop to the ground and roll over and over to extinguish the flames. If you are helping someone else, grab a coat or blanket and use it to help extinguish the flames. But do not run as this will cause the fire to spread. Immediately call 9-1-1 for help or send someone else to do it for you.
