It is hoped that by dropping and rolling on the ground, the flames will be doused. If you run round in a panic, the flames will burn fiercer and cause more fire damage.
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.
Yes fire does need water to put it out or you could use baking soda to also stop the fire
Alert the proper fire authorities, the persons resident or working in the area, and the local management if in an apartment or office building. Use any building fire alarms that are present. Unless you are qualified, and unless it is very small, do not try to extinguish the fire yourself. You may try to determine the type of fire and its possible cause, but otherwise simply alert those nearby, leave the immediate vicinity of the fire, and move to a safe area. Remaining in a fire area could result in serious or fatal injury, especially from smoke inhalation and structure collapse.
If you spill liquid nitrogen over fire, the fire would stop immediately and it would have smoke on the ice.
If you gas fire smells it is VERY IMPORTANT that you stop using it immediately and that you get a professional, qualified gas fire engineer to come and service it and check the flue. The reason for this is that a faulty fire can produce a gas called Carbon Monoxide (CO) which you can not smell or taste. This gas will kill you and is responsible for may "faulty fire" related deaths a year. The fact that you can smell kerosene from the fire indicates that fumes are leaking back into your living area and the likelihood is that CO is too. STOP USING THE FIRE!
