I'm a trained firefighter (even though I don't do it for a living) and I've seen folks on fire before, it's ugly. No way to describe it other than ugly.

But that thing about stop drop and roll doesn't put the fire out.
It's better than running because it doesn't fan the flames. It's better than standing still because the flames tend to rise and standing vertically increases the exposure.

But stop, drop, and roll will not put the fire out (unless it's really small) or even decrease it's intensity, it'll just reduce the rate at which it increases and reduce the exposure slightly. Iffn you're on fire you're fuched.
