Non native here: never heard it, is implying an unpleasant feeling?
Usually it's referring to being a downer at an event that's typically exciting. Like being at a party but complaining the whole time about their beer/music selection.
I have no idea how it started being used that way, but it's true, there's nothing fun about a wet blanket.
You'd use a wet blanket to smother a fire.
I suppose so, although a proper fire blanket would be even better.
You're being a wet blanket.
