If Your Clothes Catch Fire - What you should do!








ESCAPE:

If Your Clothes Catch Fire


Wrong Don't run around

You'll only fan the flames and make them burn faster

Don't run around


CorrectLie Down

This makes it harder for the fire to spread. It also reduces the effect of flames on your face and head (flames burn upwards)

Lie

CorrectSmother the flames

Cover the flames with heavy material, like a coat or blanket. This blocks the fire's supply of oxygen.

CorrectRoll around

Rolling smothers the flames

Roll
