They can't. The only mammal capable of free flight is the bat.

Squirrel gliders glide using skin membranes that reach from their ankles to their wrists. They launch themselves out into the air from high positions such as treetops (and power poles) , extending their membranes to catch the air currents, thus enabling them to glide considerable distances.
