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.
