Fire Safety

• All you have to do is follow these 3 simple
  rules to prevent from getting burned in a fire
• STOP where you are. Dont run because this will
  only make the fire worse.
• DROP to your knees and then to the ground.
• ROLL over and over or from side to side, covering
  your eyes, nose, and mouth with your hands, if
  possible, rolling until youre sure the fire is
  out. This will help the flames go away.
