KENNEBUNK, MAINE—The “stop, drop and roll” mantra came in handy
for a Maine eighth-grader when her cellphone caught fire in her pocket at
school.
Kennebunk middle school Principal Jeff Rodman tells The Portland
Press Herald that the girl heard a popping sound Friday morning and smoke
started billowing around her.
Boys were herded from the room so the 14-year-old girl could shed
her flaming pants. She also did the “stop, drop and roll” move to help put out
the fire. She was treated at a hospital.
Her
mother had given her the Apple iPhone 5C two months earlier.
