This is especially convenient in labo- ratories, and is of course impossible when using fire extinguishers. You can also extinguish flames by wrapping the blanket around a person whose clothes have caught fire. This is not possible with a fire extinguisher. It must be always at hand. And offers the great advantage of requir- ing no preparation”.
