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.

You can smother a fire with a fireblanket, PROVIDED the fuel itself doesn’t contain enough oxygen to keep the fire going. If it does, the blanket isn’t going to achieve much.
