Question

When the clothes of a person catch __________, the person is covered with a __________ to extinguish fire.

• A. Fire
• B. Blanket

Answer 1

When the clothes of a person catch fire, the person is covered with a blanket to extinguish the fire.

• If a person's clothes catch fire, he is quickly wrapped in a heavy blanket.
• The blanket cuts off the supply of air, which is the fuel for combustion, and so the fire is extinguished.
• A fire blanket is a flame-resistant blanket that can be used to put out a minor fire or to wrap over someone in the event of a fire.
• Two layers of woven glass fibre cloth and an interior layer of fire retardant film make up a fire blanket. They work by cutting off the fire's oxygen supply.

Therefore, when the clothes of a person catch fire, the person is covered with a blanket to extinguish the fire.
