No, it is not. Because hydrogen is flammable, it will burn in contact of the fire, instead of extinguishing it. So, generally the gas used for extinguishing fire is Carbon dioxide, which is neither flammable nor supports combustion

How does hydrogen react to fire?

What effect does Hydrogen have on a fire?
Hydrogen is highly flammable.
Does fire need air or oxygen?
The fire is fueled by oxygen in the air. There is no significant amount of hydrogen gas found in the atmosphere.Does the question relate to a laboratory experiment involving hydrogen gas? Or is the question a general one? Oxygen is not a fuel, but it is required to support combustion, or rapid oxidation. Hydrogen is combustible and can be used as fuel. If you burn hydrogen, the fire is being fueled by the hydrogen, not the oxygen, but without O2, the hydrogen would not burn.
How are hydrogen molecules different to the water molecules?
One big difference: Hydrogen are an extremely explosive gas molecules (H2), while water is a fire extinguishing fluid (H2O).
Can people be effected by carbon monoxide released from gaseous systems that are for extinguishing a fire?
Carbon monoxide is flammable so is not used in fire extinguishing systems. The carbon dioxide that is used in extinguishers can be deadly to humans as it displaces oxygen that a fire needs to burn, and humans need to breathe.
What is the best extinguishing agent for the oil fire?

Different types of fires may require specific extinguishing media, such as water for Class A fires, dry chemical for Class B and C fires, or carbon dioxide for electrical fires. It is important to use the correct extinguishing media to effectively and safely extinguish a fire.
Where should you Amy fire extinguisher stream when extinguishing a fire?
