Firefighting is most often accomplished by colonists “stomping” on the fire until it goes out completely. Another method of extinguishing fire is by deploying firefoam poppers that when triggered by flames will explode to blanket the area with fire-suppressing foam.
How do you extinguish a burning person?
How to put out a fire on someone? The basic principle when someone catches fire is “stop, drop and roll”. It helps them to extinguish the flames on themselves. If you are near someone on fire and they stop, drop and roll – you can then smother the flames in a wet blanket or a coat.
