The "Fire Triangle" indicates that a fire requires fuel, oxygen and heat to continue burning. Removing any one side will cause the reaction to cease.
You can:
- Remove the source fuel (turn off gas or oil supply to the fire)
- Smother the fire with barriers such as foams, sand (or other inert material)
- Cool it with water or carbon dioxide
- Tie up the reactants with compounds that bind with the oxygen more rapidly (Halon)
- Replace the oxygen in the air with carbon dioxide or other inert gas (Halon)
I have one suggestion to all that if you have any damaged fire extinguisher then you can sell it on Halon.Us.
Thank you all.

How does argon put out fires?
Argon extinguishes fires by displacing oxygen in the air, which is essential for combustion. When released, argon forms a blanket over the fire, cutting off the oxygen supply and smothering the flames. This process effectively suffocates the fire, causing it to go out.
Is carbon dioxide the only gas that extinguishes burning?
No, carbon dioxide is not the only gas that can extinguish a fire. Other gases such as water vapor, nitrogen, and certain types of fire extinguishing agents like halon and foam can also be effective in extinguishing fires by either displacing oxygen or cooling the fuel source.
What will happen if you put a paper cup of water at the edge of a campfire the edges of the cup will burn down to the water levels then stop why?
The water inside the cup will absorb the heat energy from the fire, preventing the cup from burning further. As the water heats up, it will vaporize and cool the cup, creating a barrier that protects the cup from the flames. The water will continue to absorb heat until it evaporates completely or the fire is extinguished.
How will you show that air supports burning?
Air supports burning by providing oxygen as a crucial component of the combustion process. When a material burns, it reacts with oxygen in the air to produce heat and light. Removing air or reducing oxygen levels can extinguish a fire, demonstrating the essential role of air in supporting burning.

What makes Chubb fire extinguishers better than other fire extinguishers?
