Stop, Drop, and Roll

Everyone should know this rule.  If clothing catches on fire, do not run!  Walking or running will increase the intensity of the fire.  Stop immediately, drop to the ground covering your face with your hands, and roll over and over or back and forth until the flames are completely extinguished.  Immediately cool the burn with cool water for three to five minutes.  Seek immediate emergency medical care.  You can assist someone on fire by using a blanket, towel, or coat, if immediately available, to smother the fire.
