3 elements are needed for a fire: fuel, oxygen (air), and heat. The carbon dioxide is used to displace the oxygen being used in a fire. Since fire has no more oxygen available because it is replaced by the carbon dioxide, the fire will go out.

What are 5 ways to control a fire?
we can control the fire by the release of carbon dioxide which can be done by a fire extinguishers
What sort of fire is a carbon dioxide fire?
Carbon dioxide does not burn.
How is carbon dioxide able to control a fire?
Carbon Dioxide [CO2] controls, and can extinguish, a fire due to the fact that the addition of CO2 to the air, results in reducing the relative percentage of Oxygen [O2] to a concentration below that necessary for combustion ["burning"] to occur.
How can you control fire?
we can control the fire by the release of carbon dioxide which can be done by a fire extinguisher... cauz CO2 covers the flames like blankes and controls it....
What is produced after a fire?
Fire releases heat and carbon dioxide. The carbon depends on how the fire is burnt. Unburnt hydrocarbons are released if fire is not complete.
How does the addition of carbon dioxide affect a fire?
The addition of carbon dioxide to a fire can extinguish it because carbon dioxide displaces oxygen, which is necessary for the fire to burn. This process suffocates the fire, preventing it from continuing to burn.
What happens when there is carbon dioxide around a fire?
the fire should exstinguish a carbon dioxide puts out flames as it is a common fire extinguisher
Can carbon dioxide come from fire?
Yes. Burning carbon or a carbon compound will produce carbon dioxide.
Why wouldn't you use carbon dioxide on an electrical fire?
Carbon dioxide is actually an excellent choice for use on an electrical fire.
Do fire produce carbon dioxide?
Yes, forest fires do produce carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is used for putting out fire-give reason?
2 reasons why carbon dioxide is used in putting fire off
Why do fire extinguishers have carbon dioxide when fire is made out of carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide is significantly denser than air and tends to settle on the ground displacing oxygen and putting out the fire. Nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere so 100% nitrogen isn't very different in density than air.
