On the news they were talking about Tesla battery fires being really hard to put out. I thought, why couldn’t you just slide a fireproof fabric of some kind under the burning Tesla. Pull that sucker up, and vacuum seal it.
Basically, why aren’t fires put out more often by cutting off oxygen? It seems like the most effective way as opposed to dousing it with water or sand.

Interesting question! While cutting off oxygen is one way to extinguish a fire, it’s not always practical or safe. Plus, some fires (like electrical fires) can’t be put out this way. Firefighters use a variety of methods depending on the type and location of the fire. It’s a complex science!
