extinguisher for clothes that catch on fire
what's that thing called that you spray your clothes with in case it catches on fire? i know you cannot use a fire extinguisher because it makes it worse. i learned in in school today but i never wrote down the name. it's some kind of extinguisher but only for clothes. & this has nothing to do with stop, drop & roll. thanks!

There's two different types of fire extinguishers. There are silver ones that just have water in them and red ones that contain some chemicals. If the fire is a grease fire, or was aided by chemicals like that, don't use a water fire extinguisher! That will just spread the fire out. So really, you can use the red fire extinguishers whenever you want. That's probably what they were talking about and they just used clothes as an example. Like, you were cooking and got grease on your clothes and they caught on fire type thing. You can't use a water fire extinguisher for that. I hope that answers your question. :)

No, a fire extinguisher will work fine. The most common type of fire extinguisher(ammonium phosphate) will put out fires from any source except oxidizers, which I guarantee you don't have in your clothes.
Fire extinguishers will almost always ruin your clothes. Some fire extinguishers will burn your skin after prolonged contact, and could cause thin clothes to disintegrate.
