00:00A six-year-old in Ohio was trapped in a burning house earlier this year, but survived long
00:08enough for firefighters to rescue her, all because she had just taken a fire safety class
00:14in school that taught her how to stay low under the smoke.
00:18They just told us to stop, drop, and roll.
00:21They didn't tell you to stay low?
00:23No, they never.
00:24All they said to us was stop, drop, and roll.
00:25Yeah, that was...
00:26I was like, stop.
00:27What do you mean, stop?
00:27Like, you're on fire, dude.
00:29You're on fire, you're going to stop, and then you just drop, and you roll around, everything's
00:32going to be good.
00:33But that's if you're on fire.
00:34Yeah.
00:35I will say this.
00:36My brother lit himself on fire, and he, when he was, he was like panicked for a little bit
00:45because he was in like a ball of flames, and then he was like, stop, drop, and roll.
00:50Like, if he says, he'll say, it just jumped in my head, and he just dropped to the ground
00:57and rolled around and put it out.
00:58Yeah?
00:58Put out the fire, though.
00:59He was a ball of flames.
01:01That's crazy, dude.
01:02And so...
01:03Wow.
01:04He was like, man.
01:05Stop dropping my finger.
01:06It worked.
01:07Yeah.
01:07I remember also that there was no escape for me in my home.
01:13Yeah.
01:13Like, even though, so I came home that day, and I was like, you know, Dad, seriously,
01:18we're going to need some kind of rope ladder that is attached to my window, or I am as
01:25good as cooked upstairs.
01:27You know, Kate's got a way out.
01:30She can just go to the balcony and shimmy on down, but I'm pretty much a dead man if I'm
01:36trapped.
01:37So what about that rope ladder, Dad?
01:39He's like, ah, no.
01:40Oh, you're not knocking the screen out, boy.
01:46I don't know anyone who had a rope ladder.
01:49No.
01:49But I mean, they said to get one.
01:52That was their whole thing.
01:53Yeah, they did.
01:53I remember that.
01:53But I don't know anyone that had one.
01:55Yeah.
01:55I had a friend who had one.
01:56Really?
01:57Yeah, I was jealous.
01:58I was like, you got a sweet, like, ladder?
01:59You can, like, sneak out of your house and stuff?
02:01Well, because to me, it goes from, there's only about two years where it's really saving
02:06anything, and then it's just a way to sneak out of your house.
02:09Right.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Someone said, as much as they talked about stop, drop, and roll in school, I thought
02:15I would be on fire a lot more as an adult than what I am.
02:18They did talk about it a lot.
02:19I was like, does anybody know about how these kids are catching fire so much?
02:24Can we get to the root of the issue, please?
02:27Because I don't want to stop, drop, and roll.
02:30I got a lot of things to worry about as it is.
02:32So Jamie in Boston just set herself on fire last week.
02:36There you go.
02:37Jamie, did you stop, drop, and roll?
02:39I totally forgot how to do that.
02:42Oh, no.
02:43No.
02:44What happened?
02:46Okay.
02:47So I was cooking, and I had a scarf on.
02:49So ladies, if you're wearing scarves, consider...
02:51You were doing it very fashionably.
02:54Oh, yes.
02:55Cooking with scarves.
02:56Of course.
02:56And it was one of those synthetic scarves, and I was cooking, and I was like, I smell
03:02fire, and I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, and I looked down, and I was
03:07the fire.
03:08Yeah.
03:08And I'm not even lying to you.
03:10Like, time slowed down.
03:12I didn't know what to do.
03:12But the fire was coming up my neck, and I was like, do I stop, drop, and roll?
03:16And then I just grabbed it.
03:18And then I was like, I'm not on fire anymore.
03:19And I just grabbed the scarf, and I'm like, I don't even know how it went out.
03:22You took the scarf off.
03:23I am not on fire anymore.
03:24I'm not on fire anymore.
03:26Thank God.
03:26My husband's standing there, just staring at me.
03:33Babe, you're on fire, babe.
03:35Not anymore.
03:36Babe, you're on fire.
03:37I am not on fire anymore.
03:39I am not on fire anymore.
03:40Time slowed down, and it was a cute scarf.
03:43It was an adorable scarf.
03:46Yeah.
03:47You lost a scarf that day, huh?
03:49I'm here to tell you right now, cooking with scarves, it's no joke.
03:53She does the PSA of cooking with scarves.
03:55Don't do it.
03:57She's right.
03:57I thank God that my hair was up, because if my hair wasn't up, it would have just been,
04:02I would have been a fireball.
04:03Oh, my lord.
04:04Oh, yeah.
04:04Jamie, be careful, you fashionable chef.
04:07Yeah, jeez.
04:08I don't know.
04:08I can't help it.
04:09Fashion comes first.
04:10Yeah.
04:11Less accessories.
04:12She's in heels and a scarf.
04:14I am.
04:15I just realized that I cooked.
04:17No.
04:18How did the meal turn out?
04:19Did it turn out good?
04:21It ended, you know what?
04:22I had to start over, because there was like ash and whatever.
04:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:27Scarf fashion.
04:27Scarf in the meal.
04:29Stella says it all the time.
04:31Fashion is pain.
04:31Yeah, fashion is pain.
04:34All right, Jamie.
04:34Take care of yourself.
04:35Take care of yourself, my friend.
04:37Be careful.
04:38All right.
04:38Thanks for listening.
04:39Have a good day.
04:40No more cooking and scarves.
04:42Fashion is pain.
04:43Cooking and scarves is no joke.
04:44I am not on fire.
04:45She talked herself out of the fire.
04:47I am not on fire.
04:48I think she just removed the scarf.
04:51That's it.
04:51She was just like, okay, I'm not on fire anymore.
04:54Thank God.
04:54It's just that.
04:55I like all the thoughts that went into it.
04:57There was like a matter of minutes, and she had so many thoughts.
05:00She was just like, jeez, I'm on fire.
05:01My cute scarf's on fire.
05:03I better act fast.
05:04What do I do?
05:05What do I do?
05:05Fire's coming right.
05:06Fire's coming towards my face.
05:07Better take the scarf off.
05:08Okay, I'm not on fire.
05:09No, I'm not on fire.
05:10You am not on fire.
05:12Yeah, the only time I was on fire was when I was in my sweet purple and black windbreaker
05:16suit my dad put me in, and I walked by that space eater, and those things are ready
05:21to burst.
05:22That thing was just pure gasoline is what that thing was made out of, and I didn't think
05:27to stop, drop, and roll.
05:28Purple and what color?
05:29Purple and black.
05:30Purple and black, yeah.
05:31Purple and black.
05:32It was the 90s.
05:32It was a loose time.
05:33Did it melt to you, you said?
05:34It melted to your skin, right?
05:35Yeah, it squeezed to my leg.
05:37Oh, yeah.
05:37And I was like, oh, sometimes I'm fine.
05:38Like one of those shrinky dinks.
05:39It's me!
05:41Jesus!
05:42Shrinky dink.
05:43Yeah, it did.
05:43It just kind of shrink-wrapped my leg, and my dad was like, goddammit, boy, and pop.
05:48Did you say, I am not on fire?
05:51Yeah, I am not on fire anymore, Dad.
05:53Thanks.
05:55Don't wear windbreaker suits.
05:57Goddamn boy.
