Nothing can "switch off a fire, but there are certain ways off controlling/dispersing a fire. There a three vital things that all fires need to maintain themselves, and grow. These are heat, oxygen, and fuel, and are known as the "fire triangle." to stop the fire, you need to take out one of these elements. The most common way most firefighters use is to take out either the heat, or the oxygen, as taking the fuel out is the most dangerous.

What will happen if the two switches connected to light up a single bulb are on?

It is dependant on whether the switches are in wired in a parallel or series configuration. If the switches are wires in parallel then both switches would have to be off to turn the light bulb off. Either switch could turn the light bulb on. If the switches are wired in series then both switches would have to be on to turn the light bulb on. Either switch could turn the light bulb off.

How do you get all of the light switches to be in the down position for off when you have more than one switch for them?

Three way switches do not have a up-on down-off position. With the lights off, reposition the switches so that the handles are all down. This is the start position and depending on how you enter the room and turn on the lights certain switches will be left up when you leave the room. That is just the design of the switches and for the asthetics of the look, all handles down the lights will be out.
