Set the Hydrogen on fire.
Does fire extinguisher contain hydrogen?
Not elemental hydrogen, no. That would not work in a fire extinguisher as hydrogen is highly flammable. Some fire extinguishers do use water, however, which is a hydrogen compound.
Oxygen and hydrogen helps to fire then why water prevent fire?
The electrons in the oxygen and hydrogen have a high amount of energy which is released when the oxygen and hydrogen combine to form water. The electrons are in a more stable set of bonds. The water then has no chance of bonding to decrease energy, so the water absorbs heat by cooling and boiling, so that the fire goes out.
How does hydrogen react to fire?
Pure Hydrogen (H2) gas will explosively ignite in the presence of fire.
What effect does Hydrogen have on a fire?

Is hydrogen perioxide flammable?
No. Hydrogen peroxide is not flammable, especially since the commercial concentration of 3% is 97% water. In high concentrations above about 50% hydrogen peroxide is a dangerous oxidizer that, while not flammable itself, can set other materials on fire.
How Does Hydrogen React With Fire?
It goes boom. scary. Another answer Nothing happens when fire is added to hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas needs another gas in order to do anything. If you have hydrogen gas in the air and add fire, you get a great big boom.
Can hydrogen sulphide put out fire?
No. Hydrogen sulfide is highly flammable.
