It depends upon what kind of extinguisher it is. Water, for example, removes the heat from a fire by turning into steam and by removing available air/oxygen from the flames.
Other extinguishers remove the oxygen from the fire or change the chemical reaction to stop the fire from converting the fuel to a flammable substance with the available heat.
