A fire needs oxygen to burn. Air contains oxygen. So passing in nitrogen stops incoming air refuelling the fire. Have to be careful if there are trapped people who of course need to take in oxygen as they breathe.
Nitrogen can be used in fire extinguishers as gas propellant.

N2, you know nitrogen gas
Because nitrogen gas bigest quantity in air.
Any incombustible gas may extinguish a fire CO2, Nitrogen gas, and so on.
it depends how big the fire is
Nitrogen itself is not a flammable gas, so it will not support combustion. However, oxygen is necessary for a fire to burn, and air is composed mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. Removing oxygen, by displacing it with nitrogen, can help extinguish a fire.
Halon, CO2, Neon,Nitrogen
If nitrogen gas is used instead of an inert gas in the glass bulb of an electric lamp, the nitrogen gas can react with the filament material and cause it to deteriorate faster due to oxidation. This can result in a shorter lifespan for the electric lamp. Additionally, there might be a risk of fire or explosion due to the presence of oxygen in the nitrogen gas.
Nitrogen itself is not a fire extinguishing agent. However, nitrogen gas can displace oxygen, which is a crucial component for fire to sustain itself. By displacing oxygen, nitrogen can help smother a fire by depriving it of the necessary conditions to burn.
Yes, portable dry chemical fire extinguishers are pressurized by means of nitrogen (expellant gas used to discharge the extinguishing agent from its container). Carbon dioxide can also be used as expellant gas. Usually carbon dioxide is used for temperatures ranges of 0oC to +49oC, and nitrogen for extreme temperature ranges of -54oC to +99oC.
While nitrogen is an inert gas and capable of putting fire out it is very impractical to use as a fire suppression agent. All products used in portable fire extinguishers can be seen when discharged either as a liquid or a powder so you can see where it is going. All of these products are also heavier than air so they will always tend to sink downward towards the base of the flames (at least for a short while). Nitrogen cannot be seen and is not heavier than air making it a very poor choice. please answer that can nitrogen is used as a fire extinguishing element, or tell me another elements for this purpose please answer that can nitrogen is used as a fire extinguishing element, or tell me another elements for this purpose
