    Personally, i assumed that being on fire was something i would have to go through at least once in my life. But as time goes on, i have not had the need to, even once, stop, drop or roll.

      The back of my jacket caught fire once around a firepit. Can confirm that “stop drop and roll” fixes that situation really quickly.

      Probably only time I’ll need that reflex though 🤞🏻

        I once fell ass backwards into a fire pit. I was stopped and dropped but I could not roll. Was pulled out pretty quickly but my butt will forever have those burns.

      There was a time in 1999 where quite a few of us had to stop, drop, shut em down open up shop.

      Clothes have become a lot less flammable over the years and open fireplaces aren’t the primary heating method for most houses anymore.

      I’ve done a lot of separate stopping, dropping, and/or rolling in my time, but never in that particular sequence for purposes of fire extinguishing.
