The airplanes take water (normally from an ocean or lake) and store it in the airplane. When they reach the fire they dump the water on the fire.
They pour a thing called fire retardant on it. The name itself is pretty much self-explanitory. ;)
There are two main causes of forest fires. Firstly is human carelessness as people fail to extinguish camp fires properly or are careless with matches and cigarettes. The second cause is often due to lightning strikes in forested areas.

Oh No Forest Fires was created in 2007.
there are many types of fires like- forest fires, fires related to electric switches and equipment's etc.in a forest fire we must use water and in a fire related to switches and equipment's we should not use any water as we can get an electric shock so we must use co2 gas for it . if it is a oil fire then we cannot use water because oil is lighter than oil.
There are a huge number of heliucopters and airplanes that do this. My Favorite is the "Martin Mars" (serarch under that name)

It depends what the fuel source is ! Water can extinguish even large forest fires - if you use large enough quantities of it !
