Stop Drop and Roll

What is Stop, Drop, and Roll?

It is a fire safety technique to help individuals extinguish flames on their clothing in case of a fire. This simple procedure can prevent serious burns and injuries.

Steps to Follow

1. Stop
   • If your clothes catch fire, immediately stop what you are doing. Running can cause flames to spread.
2. Drop
   • Drop to the ground to prevent flames from reaching your face and to minimize the area of your body that is exposed to fire.
3. Roll
   • Roll over and over, or back and forth, to smother the flames. Use your arms to cover your face and keep your hands aways from the fire.
