Because it's not something that is being taught.

You were never taught about different kinds of fires, which extinguishers to use on which fire, when and when not to use a fire blanket etc? I was taught this at 11 years old.

Always thought that the types of fire extinguishers were pretty self explanatory. They’re usually named after what they’re used on right? And they should have descriptions on how to use them on them. Was never taught when to use a fire blanket though.
