All together for a fire to consume, each of the three components of the fire triangle must be available: heat, fuel, and oxygen. 
Heat is a type of energy that can be exchanged starting with one protest then onto the next or even made to the expense of the loss of different types of vitality. 
A fuel is any material that can be made to respond to different substances so it discharges compound or atomic energy as heat or to be utilized for work. 
Oxygen is a dry, unscented gas. It is a substantial component and you can discover it on the periodic table with the nuclear number 8. 
On the off chance that anybody has removed the fire will be put out. As the fire blanket totally surrounds the individual whose clothes caught fire, it seals the individual's body surface around the fire and remove's the oxygen supply to the fire, along these lines putting it out. Henceforth fire blanket goes about as a fire extinguisher and prevents the fire from spreading.
