Learn Not To Burn®Activity Page"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 and over, covering
your face and mouth with your hands (this will prevent flames from
burning your face and smoke from entering your lungs). Roll over and
over until the flames are extinguished.
COOL the burn with cool water for 10-15 minutes. Get help from a grown-up, and if needed, see a doctor.
