Oxygen - The fire triangle, consisting of heat, fuel and oxygen requires a combination of the three for continued pyrolysis. The fire tetrahedron is now being taught, adding a continued chemical reaction as research has shown that the combination of heat, fuel and oxygen actually facilitates a sustained chemical rection between these factors that promotes pyrolysis. CO2 displacec oxygen and thus removes that leg of the fire triangle or tetrahedron making it impossible ofr continued combustion.

What extinguisher use on gas fire?
Carbon dioxide
Which gas is used as fire extinguisher?
Carbon Dioxide
Why are carbon dioxide used as extinguisher?
Carbon dioxide is used because it takes away the heat from the fire. Carbon dioxide is very cold and also displaces the oxygen. Heat, oxygen and fuel are part of a "fire triangle" take any of those elements away and the fire will be extinguished.
What does carbon dioxide do in a soda acid fire extinguisher?
