the fire would stop
it dosent go anywere. Sparkes are little peaces of hot stuff on fire
A fire needs heat, fuel and oxygen to burn, remove one of the three and the fire goes out, carbon dioxide (Co2) smothers the fire and so starves it of oxygen.
it depends on the amount of water and size of fire. small amount of water would take the heat out of fire by cooling, steam absorbs the heat. a large amount of water doused on fire would smother taking the oxygen out of fire.
Not quite. Heat is a result of combustion, but fire is actually chemical energy.
Fire, all fire, every fire consists of 3 things: Heat, Fuel & Oxygen. When all 3 are together in the right mix you have fire, if one or more elements is not sufficient then you cannot have fire. You therefore need as much heat as necessary along with the fuel & oxygen to maintain the fire. The specific answer is that the balance of the 3 must be correct. Quantifying that, however, is a different matter.
Sprinklers in a factory remove heat from the fire triangle.
Remove the heat, oxygen or fuel.
Remove from heat source and pour salt on the fire to smother it
The "fire triangle" (or fire tetrahedron) refers to the components of any fire, namely: fuel, heat and oxygen. Forests provide fuel, normal air has plenty of oxygen, and heat can come from lightning or from human carelessness, resulting in forest fires. Under the theory of fire components, if you remove one or more components, the fire will stop. In forest fires you can remove the fuel by "separating" it with a fireline, you can remove the heat by using water or fire retardant. When the wind blows, it adds fresh air (more oxygen) and stimulates the fire's intensity and adds to the convective spread of the fire embers.
fire needs 3 things: fuel, oxygen, heat/ignition remove one of the three and you stop the fire
Oxygen, fuel, heat. (remove any one of these three and your fire will go out)
To put out a chip pan fireyou can not remove heat quickly enoughnor can you remove fuelSo you have to remove oxygen by smothering with a damp teatowel or cloth etc and preventing OXYGEN from reaching the fire.
If you cannot remove the fuel or reduce the temperature of the burning material, removing the oxygen, or other oxidizer, will stop a fire.
The sides of the fire triangle are: Oxygen, heat and fuel. Reduce or remove any one of these and you control or extinguish the fire.

lack of oxygen OR of flammable material (fuel), but usually lack of heat. Water is used to remove heat from a fire involving ordinary combustibles.
