Answer
Oxygen
Explanation
## The fire triangle comprises three elements: Fuel, Heat, and Oxygen. The fire goes out if any of them is removed. A fire blanket, when carefully placed over a fire, essentially smothers it. This deprives the fire of the oxygen it needs to sustain a chemical reaction that makes it burn. In such a case, we can say that a fire blanket helps remove the element "Oxygen" from the fire triangle.
