    Combustion is the process of burning and requires oxygen, heat, and a fuel source. Different types of fire extinguishers use various methods like water, dry chemicals, or carbon dioxide to remove one of the conditions needed for combustion. Fire blankets work by cutting off the oxygen supply to extinguish fires of flammable materials. Proper fire safety involves preventing fires through safe electrical and chemical storage, cooking practices, and prohibiting actions like smoking or playing with open flames.
