STOP, DROP, AND ROLL
Know When to Stop, Drop, and Roll
Stop, drop, and roll is used when clothing catches fire. Children often get confused about when to stop, drop, and roll. Stress the importance of knowing when to do this behavior. This should only be done when clothing catches fire.
Children who do not have a good understanding of stop, drop, and roll will sometimes do this if they burn a finger or need to get outside if the smoke alarm sounds. Using stop, drop, and roll under the wrong circumstances could be very dangerous.
If your clothing catches fire:
1. STOP - Stop what you are doing.
2. DROP - Drop to the ground.
3. ROLL - Cover your face with your hands, keep your legs straight and roll over and over and back and forth to put the fire out.
