All of them. Heat and/or oxygen are removed by the water on the surface of the burning fuel. Water also raises the ignition temperature of the fuel, thus breaking the chain reaction when there is no longer enough heat to continue burning the wet fuel.

∙ 11y agoThe water absorbs the heat directly from the burning material, converting the liquid water into steam and incidentally raising the ignition temperature of the fuel (wet fuel won't burn unless heated to a higher temperature) and also removing some of the air (and free oxygen gas) from the surface of the fire.

Why is a burning candle extinguished by a fire extinguisher?
Like any other fire, a burning candle requires fuel, heat, oxygen and a chemical reaction. If you use a fire extinguisher, it typically removes the heat or oxygen from the process, thus stopping the fire.

What do fire extinguishers remove from the fire triangle?
It depends upon what kind of extinguisher it is. Water, for example, removes the heat from a fire by turning into steam and by removing available air/oxygen from the flames. Other extinguishers remove the oxygen from the fire or change the chemical reaction to stop the fire from converting the fuel to a flammable substance with the available heat.
Why do you put heat oxygen and fuel together in a fire triangle?
IF either of the 3 is missing, the fire will can not continue to burn.The triangle illustrates the rule that in order to ignite and burn, a fire requires three elements: heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent (usually oxygen). The fire is prevented or extinguished by removing any one of them. A fire naturally occurs when the elements are combined in the right mixture.Throwing water on the fire removes the heat.Throwing a blanket or using a carbon dioxide extinguisher removes the oxygen.In the case of a wood fire, removing pieces of wood ( spreading out the wood) removes the fuel
What is removed when putting out a forest fire?
fire is removed and small pieces of fire petrol are covered with the fire extinguisher.
