In Case of Fire:

• Never ever go back into a burning building for anything or anybody.

• Call 9-1-1 from a neighbor's house.

What do you do if your clothes catch on fire?

• If YOUR clothes catch on fire, "Stop, Drop and Roll!"

• If someone else's clothes catch on fire, don't let him or her run; yell, "Stop, Drop and Roll!"

• Once they are down and rolling, you can use a rug, blanket, towel, or other heavy cloth to help put out the flames on their clothes.

• Get adult help or call 9-1-1.

• Don't hang up until you are told to do so; listen for instructions.
   

• Work with your parents on a fire escape plan, like the one shown below.

• Plan who helps who to get out, and where to meet once outside. Then practice it over and over.

• Household members with disabilities may need special help.

• Stay low if smoke is present; crawl if you must to stay out of smoke.

• Alert others in the house to the emergency; yell "Fire", bang on doors if you can.
