Years ago my brother said he was flicking matches and my sisters blouse caught fire. Can this happen or did he hold the match to her blouse

Asked by Lucy williams about 7 years ago

Probably did and it does especially with elderly and cooking over a stove.

What if I call 911 to report a fire, but I put it out before the FD gets here, will they still respond?
And, when I call in a explosion how many engines or trucks will respond ( although it depends on the department)
