blanketing in fire fighting

A fire can ignite, and just like that, it spreads very quickly—burning up everything in its path. Therefore a quick response from the firefighters is necessary so that they can put out this fire as soon as possible. One of the primary methods that they use to do this is with water. It works in most cases, but at times using water is not a sufficient measure to extinguish the fire entirely. This is where a technique called blanketing comes as help.

And wildfires are frighteningly dangerous and generally impossible to reign in. They could spread rapidly and become a threat to whatever poor little homes and wildlife were left standing. Many strategies are employed by firefighters to control wildfires. A blanket is one of the best ways and really effective they have.

Blanketing Techniques to Control Wildfires

Firefighters might be able to "bomb" a wildfire — that is, drop down fire-stopping materials from helicopters or planes onto the flames raging below. This gives a thick layer of foam or other material to blanket the fire and put it in sleepINUXRESIZm mode. But this makes it easier for firefighters on the ground to get access into a roadless area and attack that fire efficiently and safely.

When applied, blanketing involves firefighters laying a thick coat of fire extingystem or foam over the top. This barrier establishes prevents the fire from moving on to other buildings or nearby trees. This is particularly important in cities or towns where fires can easily spread from one building to the next, escalating destruction.
