Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -1. If your clothes catch fire, stop, drop, and roll – cool and call. The “stop, drop, roll – cool and call” procedure should be used to extinguish flames and lessen burn injuries if your clothes catch fire.

Detailed explanation-2: -Roll backwards and forwards on the flame to smother the fire. By rolling on the flames you starve them of oxygen and put out the fire. A bystander can assist by dousing the fire with water, or using a fire blanket, non-flammable mat, blanket or article of clothing to assist in smothering the fire.

Detailed explanation-3: -If a person’s clothes catch fire, the best way to extinguish the fire is to cover the person with a woollen blanket. By covering with a blanket, we are preventing the supply of oxygen, which is a supporter of combustion. Throwing water on them is not the suitable thing, if the fire has been caused due to electricity.
