"Stop, Drop, and Roll" technique

"Stop, Drop, and Roll" is a safety technique used when clothing catches fire. First, you "Stop" moving to prevent the fire from spreading or intensifying. Next, you "Drop" to the ground to get close to the floor, reducing flame exposure. Finally, you "Roll" over and over to smother the flames, cutting off oxygen supply. This method helps extinguish flames safely and quickly, minimizing burns. It’s taught as an essential response for anyone caught in a fire involving clothing, providing a simple, effective way to protect yourself until further help arrives.
