In the UK a fire engine is able to produce foam and water for firefighting, so water for a building fire, and foam for a car fire were there are flammable liquids. In a building fire, a firefighter would tackle each corner of the room to fight back any flammable gasses that are in the over pressure. once them gasses are pushed back the firefighter can then start tackling the source of the fire

Firefighters tackle different kinds of fires by using different techniques and tools. For example, they may use water or foam to extinguish fires fueled by flammable liquids like gasoline. For electrical fires, they may use fire extinguishers that are designed to cut off the electrical current. Additionally, firefighters may use specific approaches and protective equipment, like fire-resistant clothing and breathing apparatus, to address fires in different environments, such as high-rise buildings or forests.
