What to do
- Do not run. Drop, cover your face and roll until fire stops.
- If unable to roll, ask for help smothering flames with a blanket.
- Once flames are out: cool the burn with cool running water for 20 minutes. Get emergency help for large, deep or facial burns.
- Child/person needing assistance: accompany only along safe exit, no re-entry. Unable to escape: give exact location/mobility to rescue. No improvised rope/unsafe stair carrying.
- After fire out: cool burn only, keep rest warm. Do not cover breathing face or pull stuck clothes. Smoke/hoarseness/facial burn: emergency now. No20min delay to call/CPR.
What to avoid
- Do not pull off clothing stuck to skin.
