nope oxygen is needed though
If you spill liquid nitrogen over fire, the fire would stop immediately and it would have smoke on the ice.
We get the nitrogen our bodies need by eating food.
yes
it sets fire to it and everything explodes
Flood it with another gas, such as CO2 or nitrogen.
Nitrogen can be used in fire extinguishers as gas propellant.

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 does not support fire because it is considered a non-flammable substance. Liquid nitrogen prevents fire from spreading because it inhibits fuel and oxygen from burning.

N2, you know nitrogen gas
No, in fact most early spacecraft the test animals, astronauts, or cosmonauts breathed pure oxygen. This was stopped after the Apollo-1 fire, which was attributed to defective wiring and a pure oxygen atmosphere. After that some nitrogen was added as a safety feature against fire.
Herbivores get the nitrogen they need by eating plants.
Usually CO2. Hydrogen and oxygen are fuels for fire. Nitrogen would work but is not usually used as it is too light.
Why does atmospheric nitrogen need to be converted?
