TGIF! Let’s make this quick, there’s March Madness! *checks DFO bracket* Cool, cool, cool. 25th out of 26. Thanks BFC for keeping me out of last.
Survival – Personal Edition
Let’s say you’re playing around will a little flame and manage to light yourself on fire. Here’s a handy guide.
- Stop. Don’t run around flailing your arms like a cartoon character. This will only feed the fire more air making burn hotter and faster. You’ll also be breathing in more smoke, spreading the fire to other parts of your body, onlookers (don’t be offended if they’re just standing there laughing at this point), or other objects.
- Smother the fire. If you have a fire blanket, heavy wool blanket, or other bulking covering nearby, use that to wrap around yourself and pat out the flames.
- If you don’t have those or that didn’t work, you’re now in trouble. Cover your face with your hands so you don’t damage your pretty looks. Also to protect your eyes and airway.
- Drop. Lie face down to keep it from the flames.
- Roll. Back and forth or all the way around. Whatever it takes to extinguish the flames. (Except fire-ret… fire-liquid Donalds, those don’t work so well on clothing)
- Once the flames are extinguished, treat your burn areas with a lot of cold water. Do not burst and blisters and do not move charred skin. Then loosely wrap the burnt areas in dry and sterile bandages. Do not apply and creams, lotions, potions, or ointments.
- Call 911 and get yourself to a burn center. They’ll know what to do to ensure you retain as many body functions as possible and prevent infections. They might even help you save some skin.
Congrats on surviving your conflagration! Be more careful next time.
