Yes.
Baking soda or NaHCO3, produces a high amount of carbon dioxide when heated to a high temperature. This gas is responsible for putting out fires by reducing the oxygen in the surrounding atmosphere.
Firefighters use many methods to put out fires. The extinguishing method depends on four factors, which are called the fire tetrahedron.Imagine a pyramid with four sides. The sides are:Fuel (Reducing Agent)Oxygen (Oxidizing Agent)HeatSelf sustained chemical reaction.If you remove one of those four factors, the fire will go out.For instance when fighting a class A fire (ordinary combustibles like wood and paper), the best method is often to remove heat. Firefighters do that by applying water to the fire. Also, once enough water is applied, it can also remove oxygen from the process by smothering the fuel.
Smaller forest fires can be put out by spraying water in the right places. Large fires are usually put out by a combination of methods which can include dumping large amounts of water from an aircraft and various ways of cutting off the burning part from the fuel source. This can be in the form of cutting trees to create a gap that fire cannot cross, digging ditches to prevent fire from spreading over ground cover, and sometimes even using a controlled burn to do the same things.
The act of smothering a fire is to prevent air (oxygen) from feeding the flames.
No, it is not. Because hydrogen is flammable, it will burn in contact of the fire, instead of extinguishing it. So, generally the gas used for extinguishing fire is Carbon dioxide, which is neither flammable nor supports combustion
