If a person's clothing catches fire, running around in panic worsens the flame. What is the standard emergency action they should follow?
  1. Run fast towards an open field to blow the fire out
  2. Stop, Drop to the ground, and Roll over to smother the flames
  3. Stand still and fan the fire with a piece of cloth
  4. Cover the mouth and jump repeatedly

Solution

Running feeds oxygen to the fire. 'Stop, Drop, and Roll' cuts off oxygen supply, effectively extinguishing the flames.
