Explanation:

We know that Oxygen present in the atmosphere helps in supporting combustion and burning. Due to the presence of oxygen in air, fuels easily catch fire.

In the above case, the clothes of a person catches fire and to stop this we can cut off the supply of oxygen in the atmosphere. By covering the person with a blanket, cuts off the supply of Oxygen to stop burning.

More ways:

  • Firstly cooling with water, foam, dirt, or scattering the available fuels to reduce the effect of heat. 
  • Cutting off the supply of oxygen by covering with a blanket or spraying carbon dioxide.
  • Removing the fuel.
  • Using chemical fire extinguishers like Soda-acid extinguishers etc.
  • Other small things like using lift if we are inside a tall buildings and so on...

\huge\underline\bold {Answer:}

If clothes of a person catch fire his body is covered with blanket because in order to stop the supply of oxygen. We know one thing that fire requires oxygen to burn so if we try to stop the supply of oxygen then the fire will go out.

The air gasps in the blanket acts as an insulating medium which cuts the supply of oxygen to an object or a person that is burning.

Hence, it prevents further burning.

We should follow these steps if our clothes catch fire:

1. Stop running and remain calm.

2. Drop to the floor immediately.

3. Roll over from side to side while covering your face with hands to smother the flames.

4. If you notice someone's clothes, quickly make the casualty lie down on the floor, cover him with a blanket and gently pat him until the fire is extinguished.

Thanks....
