What should you do when your clothes catch fire?
What should you do when your clothes catch fire? Correct Answer Stay where you are, drop to the floor, roll slowly against the floor and cool off with water after the fire is out.
Explanation:
If your clothes catch fire, stop, drop, and roll – cool and call.
- The “stop, drop, roll – cool and call” procedure should be used to extinguish flames and lessen burn injuries if your clothes catch fire.
- If you clothes catch fire:
- STOP immediately where you are
- DROP to the ground
- ROLL over and over and back and forth, 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 for a long time until the flames are extinguished.
- COOL the burn with cool water for 10-15 minutes.
- CALL a grown-up for help.
- Young children are sometimes confused about when to stop, drop, and roll – cool, and call. Stress the fact that this procedure should only be used when clothing catches fire. To avoid having clothing catch fire, teach children to stay away from ignition sources such as matches, lighters, lit candles, fireplaces, heaters, stoves, and grills.
