Know When To Stop Drop and Roll

6/9/2017 (Permalink)

"Stop, drop, and roll” is used when clothing catches fire.  It is very important we teach our children the dangers of fire, and what to do if an article of their clothing catches on fire.  

The NFPA, teaches the following method:

-Stop where you are.

- Drop to the ground and cover your eyes and mouth with your hands.

- Roll over and over and back and forth until the flames are out.

- Get help from a grown-up who will cool the burn and get medical help.

The NFPA also emphasizes that we need to teach our children DO NOT RUN!  

eMediaWorks also has a wonderful video that you can show your children to teach them how to "Stop, Drop, & Roll".  Please watch this video with your family, and educate them on the importance of fire safety Stop, Drop, and Roll.
