Solution
The correct option is D all of the above Depending on the cause of the fire, it can be extinguished using carbon dioxide, blanket and even water.
Carbon dioxide is used if the fire is caused by electrical equipment. Carbon dioxide puts off the fire by acting as a blanket over the material and cutting off the oxygen supply.
A blanket can extinguish fire when it is wrapped around a person whose clothes have caught fire. It cuts off the oxygen supply and puts off the fire.
Water can also extinguish fire by cooling the combustible material so that its temperature is brought below its ignition temperature.
