New Re: Van blew up in D.C.
Parking attendants told News4 they heard an explosion and saw a van on fire. They said a man standing next to the van was also on fire. A doctor from a nearby building attempted to help the victim.

methinks if I were on fire I would NOT be standing still!!

still too little information in the article to tell........

........if it's for free...... it's for me ;)

New Standing still is 2nd best idea
Running is the worst thing you can do.

I don't know when I was taught it, but the saying, "Stop, drop, and roll" is the best thing that can be done, even if there is nothing to actually smother the flames. At least the ground (even if concrete) will snuff some of the flames. And if you're lucky, you've got someone nearby with a coat or a blanket that they can throw on you too smother the flames.
Famous last RPG quotes: "I'll just shoot this fireball down the dungeon passageway..."
