Question

we wrap a blanket around a person whose clothes have caught fire?explain why?

Answer 1

One should know that more than anything it is oxygen which supports combustion.

So if you want to extinguish the fire you need to block the supply of oxygen.

If any part of the body gets caught in fire, then people wrap it with blanket because it restricts the supply of oxygen to that area to almost zero and hence the fire is extinguished.

Answer 2

How will you extinguish oil fire ?
