IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE AND FIRST AID ON THE SPOT IN FIRE DISASTERS 

1. When clothes catch fire, victim should fall to floor or ground and roll 

in carpet or blanket if available; Otherwise, stop, drop, roll, 

and beat out flames with anything available.

Running causes flames to spread.



2. Immerse burned areas in cool water for 10 minutes or apply cool water compresses. 

  This limits tissue destruction and helps prevent further complications.

3. Do not apply any ointments to area.

4. Call out for family member and have someone contact police, fire, or emergency squad.
