What is what to do when someone is on fire?

If someone is on fire, remember STOP, DROP, and ROLL. This is the most crucial first step.

If someone else is on fire:

  1. Help them STOP, DROP, and ROLL.
  2. Smother the flames with a fire blanket, coat, or any other large piece of non-flammable material. Wrap the person tightly to cut off the oxygen supply to the fire. (Link: https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Smother%20the%20Flames)
  3. Cool the burn with cool (not cold) water for 10-20 minutes after the flames are extinguished. (Link: https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Cool%20the%20Burn)
  4. Call for Emergency Services: Immediately call emergency services (911 or your local emergency number) to get medical help. (Link: https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Call%20for%20Emergency%20Services)
