The Stop-Drop-And-Roll is basically, instead of running while you're on fire, you stop where you are, drop to the floor, cover your face with your hands, and roll back and forth to try to extinguish the flames. That's really what it is and it's exactly what it says. You just stop, drop to the floor, cover your face to protect it, and then roll back and forth to combat the flames on your body.
