We should not run here and there for help as it fans the flames. This will fan the tongs of the fire and it will not be set up by the water. We shall only lay down on a thick carpet and should be rolled inside it with an adult's help. I think so, this will work in every fire case.

∙ 15y agoThe basic answer is to Drop and Roll. This means drop to the ground and roll to put the flames out. The thinking here is that running tends to fan the flames, increasing damage. Of course you'll need to be careful -- rolling into traffic, for instance, is moving from the pan into the fire (pardon the pun :} ). If there's a second person around, try and stop the victim from running -- see above. Use a jacket or shirt as a fire blanket and try to pat the flames out. Bare hands aren't nearly as good for this. If you have water or a fire extinguisher handy, use it. Don't worry about whether it's the right kind of extinguisher -- you aren't likely to make things worse. Once the flames are out, consider transport to a hospital immediately, depending on your onsite evaluation of the burns.

By running it allows the fire to get more oxygen than by staying put, but the best thing is to lay down and roll or to throw something like clothes or a blanket over the flames to deprive the fire of oxygen.
