Smothering burning clothes with blanket

Smothering burning clothes with a blanket -- a fire safety officer instructs a woman in the use of a blanket to smother the burning clothing of a child (dummy). The blanket also protects the trainee, and the flames do not affect the child's face when lying flat on the ground
