How did Knights contribute to Medieval Society in Western Europe?
Knights were among the lowest level of the nobility, having titles that were usually not inherited. They ran the manors, protected the serfs on those manors, and provided the basis for raising armies in times of war. They were the heavy cavalry of the Middle Ages, in a time when heavy cavalry was the most important element in warfare. The knights' code, called the Code of Chivalry, which was further developed by such figures as Eleanor of Aquitaine, caused reflection among the higher classes on such subjects as mercy, protection of the poor, protection of women, charity, and so on.

Can one say that to put out a fire is to make the flames obsolete?
That would be a quirky way to describe the situation, to say the least. I don't think it is correct. Obsolete and extinguished don't mean the same thing. Something that's obsolete might still be in effect. For instance, someone might say that "The internet makes copyright law obsolete." That doesn't mean that the internet caused copyright law to stop existing.
