Stop, Drop, and Roll!

Imagine your clothes suddenly have little flames dancing on them. Scary, right? But you have a special trick to stop them! It's called Stop, Drop, and Roll. First, you STOP moving so the flames don't get bigger. Then, you DROP to the ground, like you're giving the floor a hug. Finally, you ROLL over and over, like a log, until the fire goes out. It's a simple way to be a fire hero!

This amazing fire-saving trick is taught to kids, just like you, and even grown-ups who work in places where fires can happen. It's especially helpful if the fire is on your back, where you can't easily see or reach it. It's a way to make sure everyone knows how to stay safe if the unexpected happens. It’s like a secret code for staying safe from fire!

This trick is super important because it can save you from getting hurt by fire. When you stop, drop, and roll, you smother the flames. Smothering means cutting off the air that fire needs to burn. It’s like putting a blanket over a candle to make it go out. This simple action can make a huge difference in keeping you safe and sound.

To do the move, remember the three magic words: STOP! DROP! ROLL! If your clothes catch fire, don't run! Running makes the flames bigger because of the wind. Instead, STOP right where you are. Then, DROP down to the ground quickly. Finally, ROLL your body back and forth, covering your face with your hands. Keep rolling until the fire is out. You're a fire-fighting star!
