If your clothing catches fire, do not run. Running fans the flames and makes them worse. Stop where you are, drop to the ground, cover your face with your hands, and roll back and forth until the fire is out. This technique has saved countless lives since it was first taught in the 1970s.

Space heaters are involved in roughly one-third of all home heating fires. Keep them at least three feet away from anything that can burn — furniture, curtains, bedding, and clothing. Always plug them directly into a wall outlet, never an extension cord, and turn them off when you leave the room or go to sleep.
