Colouring In Sheet - Stop Cover Drop and Roll
Recommended for Years 3 - 7
What to Do If Your Clothes Catch Fire?
If your clothes catch fire, remember to STOP, COVER, DROP, and ROLL:
- STOP – Don’t run or move around.
- COVER – Protect your face by covering it with your hands.
- DROP – Drop to the floor or ground.
- ROLL – Roll over and over to put out the flames.
For Older Children (9 years and above):
Explain that rolling helps to smother the fire, cutting off the oxygen and stopping the flames. If you run while on fire, it’s like blowing on a campfire coal, it gives the fire more oxygen, making it burn faster and worse. Rolling on the ground helps to put it out quickly and safely.
