Question

a small fire can be extinguished by throwing sand over it is it true or false? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

A small fire like a drum of kerosene on fire can be extinguished by throwing sand or soil over it. When sand is thrown over burning kerosene oil, the sand covers it like a blanket. The sand cuts off the air supply to the burning kerosene oil due to which the fire gets extinguished.
