  Speaker 3: by other boy scouts.

• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and I dis so. Number three is remembering to stop
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: drop and roll. Many kids in the seventies and eighties
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: were taught about fire safety through stop drop and roll
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: or the National Fire Protection Association. Reports suggested there are
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: actually other risks outside of risks, like your clothes being
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: on fire, that adults should be more concerned about it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: But if you're clothing on fire, they make a big
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: deal out of it. And you know how likely it
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: is that you catch on fire. Not although again, Scott
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Geary and I were trying to start his dad's trial,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: but you're, you know, boring gasoline into the carburetor. Scott
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: was while I was trying to gun it and and
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: he caught on fire.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Did he stop dropper?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: He ran across the lawn and then finally realized that
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: his shirt was on fire.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: And I don't feel like those going to every one
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of these he's going to say, you know, actually that
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: did happen to me.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I had to take him to the hospital.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: And the two points out our clothes were a lot

  Speaker 4: one of those nylon shirts that's so flammable these days.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Number four is sitting too close to the TV. Remember
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you're you're going to go blind, Not really so much.

  Speaker 1: and drugs and doesn't happen. Number six swallowing gum.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was That was a big one. There are
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: adults I know who still believed that.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: They always said get caught.
• 3:17

  Speaker 1: Is turning the light on in the car, Now.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: That's not a good idea. So like the.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Interior light, the dome light at night. And I've always
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: thought it was harder to see it is the road.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: If the light inside the car is.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: All it is, that's why you shouldn't do it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: This says Experts from Thompson Law argue that rumors and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: myths around the legality of interior car lights while driving
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: were likely sparked by an early misunderstanding about traffic laws,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: many which became misguided generational belief in families. But so,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: maybe that's not against the law, but it's probably not
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: a good I.
• 4:05

• 4:10
