In order for a fire to burn, all three elements of the fire triangle must be present: heat, fuel and oxygen. If any one is

cut off the fire will be put out. As the fire blanket completely surrounds the person whose clothes caught fire, it seals

the person’s body surface around the fire and cut’s off the oxygen supply to the fire, thereby putting it out. Hence fire

blanket acts as a fire extinguisher and stops the fire from spreading.
