In some situations, halon gas systems are used. The halon removes all the oxygen from the air. It suffocates the fire without destroying the machinery.

Unfortunately Halon is a halogenated hydrocarbon and production is now banned by the Greenies, and both the computer and the aviation industries are trying to find good alternatives, so next time you find yourself in an airliner with an engine on fire, reflect on the undesireability of using Halon to put the fire out.
