What should you do if your clothes catch on fire? • Stop, drop and roll
DROP to your hands and knees, lie on the ground with your hands covering your face
If the fire is on your sleeves, put your arms down by your side and roll over and over, back and forth, until the fire is out
If someone else is on fire: • make sure they don’t run • use a blanket to smother the fire • put water on them to put out the fire
