    		Baking soda is an extinguishing agent. CO2 in cola is also an extinguishing agent but it is the water in the cola that does the job.

    		I'd go for alum. http://www.du.edu/~jcalvert/phys/alumin.htm and http://www.protecflam.com/fireproofing-materials-EN/materials-fireproof-protection-fire.php
    Baking soda is for extinguishing greasy fires rather than fireproofing cloth.
