Question

What are the three main ways in which a fire can be controlled
or put out?

Nishtha Kapil · Accepted Answer

Fire can be controlled or put out by taking away one of the
three things required for burning
The first way is to take away the fuel If the fire has no fuel
to feed on, no burning can take place
The second way is to prevent oxygen from reaching it Small
fires can be put out with a damp blanket or a sack
This stops oxygen from reaching the burning material
Sometimes carbon dioxide is used for extinguishing fire
The third way of putting out a fire is to remove the heat
If the temperature can be brought down below the flash point, the
fuel stops burning Blowing on a burning matchstick or
a candle removes the hot air around the flame, bringing down its
temperature below the flash point Sometimes water is sprayed on a
fire It absorbs heat from the burning fuel and lowers the
temperature It also cuts off the supply of oxygen, and therefore,
fire is extinguished
