I will never set myself on fire while cooking fish (IRL)

[D Scriptus]

Honest.
I know how to do this - open fire, microwave, baked, fried - it's all good, done it for years AND NO SCARS - NO FATALITIES (unless you count the fish)

So, a month an a half into a great location - I get lazy cooking a nice big pike - and discover that even in rain, you can can set yourself on fire. I didn't see a right click - menu "Stop drop and Roll" option. And it might have taken a second or two, but I'm dead, anyway.
This is why you shouldn't get attached to your characters, I guess.

Sometimes I wish this game had a save feature.
This,
Sucked.
Because he'd uncovered half of Riverside, was levelling like a ninja - killed almost 400 zombies. But dies cooking his bedtime snack.

Yeah, kinda of butt hurt over yet another stupid death - but also, cool that you can set yourself on fire if you don't pay attention.

Is there a way to put yourself out? Because I doubt I will learn from this the first time.

Keep a fire extinguisher by your firepit just in case of accidents. You should be able to use it to put yourself out.

It happens.

I need to test it out but running is supposed to put out the flames.

Having water in your main inventory and right clicking on yourself should give you the option.
