  • Remain in a non-involved room with the doors and windows closed.
  • Use wet towels or other materials to fill any gaps where smoke could enter.
  • Stay low to the floor to avoid smoke inhalation.
  • Stop, drop and roll to extinguish flames on clothing.
  • If safe to do so, move flammable materials away from sources of ignition.
