SESK: Stuff Everyone Should Know · sesk.info/stop-drop-roll
If your clothes catch fire, what do you do?
Stop, drop, and roll, and cover your face.
- Stop, drop, and roll ✔
- Run to blow it out
- Pat the flames with your hands
Why: US Fire Administration says stop, drop, cover your face with your hands, and roll until the fire is out. Running feeds the flames.
Huh, didn't know that: If you cannot roll, a nearby blanket or towel can help smother flames.
What is a firefighter's favorite card game? Go fish, after the fire is out.
