Primarily, it is a method to extinguisha fire on a person’s clothes or hair without, or in addition to, the use of conventional firefightingequipment. In addition to extinguishing the fire, stop, drop and roll is thought to be an effectivepsychological tool, providing those in a fire situation, particularly children, with a routine that can befocused on in order to avoid panic.The technique of stop, drop and roll works for the following reasons:Stop: Running adds oxygen to the fire, or it can be thought of as fanning the flames. Running doesnot allow for a “smothering” of the fire. It may also prevent bystanders, who may be willing to provideassistance, from smothering the fire with their jackets or other form of clothing, from dowsing the firewith water, or even using a fire extinguisher they might have available.Drop: By dropping to the prone position (face down) you immediately reduce your body surface areathat can receive oxygen. In this position the person should immediately cover their face from the flamesto prevent burn injury and the difficult disfiguring effects of burned skin. With the body against the ground,it smothers the fire, by reducing the oxygen that is available for the fire. Further, fire burns upward, andby dropping to the prone position, you retard the fire’s ability to burn upward.Roll: Because a person’s clothing (fuel source) circumferences their entire body, the roll portion ofthe technique ensures that all clothing that may be on fire is smothered (depriving it from oxygen) againstthe ground, and not just the front or abdominal surface of the body of the prone position. The personshould continue “rolling” back and forth until the fire is fully extinguished.Although stop, drop, and roll is a useful technique, some people are skeptical about its trueeffectiveness. It’s one thing to be so-called “book-smart” about the dos and don’ts of the stop, drop, androll technique, but it’s another thing to be able to actually perform the technique when your clothes are onfire. You’re feeling the pain of the burn, and you enter panic mode. After all, we have all seen YouTubevideos of adults catching fire, and then start running around and flapping their arms in the panic of theirsituation.With a real and present risk of a child being involved in some type of fire incident, how do we goabout trying to teach young children to effectively perform the stop, drop, and roll technique? They maynot even really understand what fire is or the danger it presents. They are likely to panic in fear if theycatch fire, and their physical capabilities to extinguish themselves may be limited.
