Nitrogen liquifies at very low temperatures. Further, it will require specific insulation (and costly!) to keep it in the liquid state. While Carbon Dioxide is both easier to liquify and store

Why nitrogen does not stop burning?

Do you mean why is nitrogen not used as a fire extinguisher? Well, it SORT of is. Nitrogen gas can be used for blanketing a process, to exclude oxygen. But nitrogen is lightly lighter than air, and tends to float away easily. Carbon Dioxide, the most common fire extinguishing gas, is very heavy, and lays on top of the fire. Carbon Dioxide is much easier to keep liquid at room temperature- meaning an extinguisher will hold much more CO2 than N2.
