Fire requires three things: heat, fuel, and oxygen. If you take one of them away, then the fire will stop. By wrapping a heavy blanket around a burning object, it blocks oxygen in the air from getting to the fire and the fire goes out. This is why a fire blanket is standard safety equipment in school science labs.
Fire doors are used to stop fires or smoke from spreading into different areas of a building. Some fire doors have furry strips round the edges, these are called intumescent strips. The fibres in the strips swell when they get hot and stop smoke going round the edges of the door. The doors themselves are made up of layers of fireproof material which means that it takes longer to burn through the door. Most common fire doors protect the rest of the building for around half an hour only because of the intsumescent strips and the fireproof material actually on the doors.
