    Complete this fire safety sentence -  Stop, drop and...

    Explanation
    "Stop, drop and roll" is a commonly taught fire safety technique. In the event that a person's clothing catches fire, stopping immediately prevents the flames from spreading. Dropping to the ground helps to smother the fire and reduce the oxygen supply. Finally, rolling back and forth helps to extinguish the flames by depriving them of oxygen and smothering them further. This technique is effective in minimizing the risk of injury and preventing the fire from spreading further.
