The blanket will help to smother the flames. The flames should go out once deprived of oxygen, hopefully before the person suffers burns. A carpet could be used instead as speed is essential.

Why do you wrap blanket around a person whose cloths have caught fire?

Wrapping a blanket around a person whose clothes are on fire can help smother the flames by cutting off the oxygen supply. This can prevent the fire from spreading and give more time for the person to safely remove the burning clothing or for someone else to help extinguish the flames. It is important to ensure the person stops, drops to the ground, and rolls to further extinguish the fire.

What should be used to put out a fire in person's hair or clothing?

Stop, drop and roll is a simple fire safety technique taught to children, emergency services personnel and industrial workers as a component of health and safety training, and is primarily a method used to extinguish a fire on a person's clothes or hair without, or in addition to, the use of conventional fire-fighting equipment. Additionally, using a non-flammable cover, tarp, or blanket to "smother" the fire will help to stop the oxygen consumption needed to burn and grow.
