Why do fire extinguishers have carbon dioxide when fire is made out of carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide is significantly denser than air and tends to settle on the ground displacing oxygen and putting out the fire. Nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere so 100% nitrogen isn't very different in density than air.
