What exactly makes up fire?

Fire is an exothermic chemical reaction. In the case of a campfire, organic compounds in the wood react with heat and oxygen to produce CO2 among other byproducts and even more heat, which perpetuates the reaction until it runs out of either fuel, oxygen or the heat is somehow taken away. This is why covering fire with a blanket will put it out. The blanket stops oxygen from getting to the fire, bringing the reaction to a halt. 3 things are needed for fire: oxygen, fuel and heat.


Why can't you put out a fire with a foam extinguisher?
