you throw dry sand on it
To separate a sugar and sand mixture, there are two methods. The first is to slowly heat the mixture until the sugar melts. The second is to put the mixture into a solvent, such as water, where the sugar will dissolve, leaving behind the sand.
Put them in water. Sugar dissolves, sand remains Filter the solution to separate sand and salt. Evaporate solution with dissolved salt to get salt back
Sand, water or a fire extinguisher are all effective at putting out a wood fire.

Sand forms a barrier between the fuel (whatever is on fire) and oxygen from the air.
Combustion requires heat, oxygen, and fuel. When sand is thrown on the fire it smothers the flames. (Removal of oxygen)

because it takes away the oxygen which fuels a fire.
It is safe since sand cannot catch on fire.
Because water is better to use to put out fires than sand.
Use water. Mix it around, the sugar will dissolve into the water. Use a siv to separate the water and the sand, put the water in a container and wait for the water to evaporate: leaving sugar and sand.
Water would take longer because it is a liquid. Sand would put it out faster
