Don’t you hate it when you’re cooking dinner and suddenly your arm catches on fire? I do.

Thankfully, the G.I. Joes have a solution for those of us who are prone to setting ourselves on fire, and surprisingly, it doesn’t involve running like a flaming bat out of hell while screaming profanities and/or calling for help to surrounding onlookers.

According to this PSA presented by everyone's favorite Native American Spirit, all one has to do is stop, stay calm and ignore the stench of burning flesh emanating from their arm. Then, they must grab the nearest blanket or rug—provided that they are near one—and drop to the ground to smother the flames.

Of course, if neither item is available at the time, I recommend running towards the nearest person and using their body as a human flame retardant. You get bonus points if the unfortunate individual on the receiving end of your fire-fighting crusade is someone whom you despise.

Thanks, G.I. Joe! Now we know, and knowing is half the battle.
