Why does a burning material is extinguished when stamped?
A fire requires three things to keep burning: fuel, oxygen, and heat. When you stomp on a fire, your foot momentarily excludes oxygen, stopping the burning. Since the burning stops for an instant, no heat is being released, allowing the fuel to cool. When you take your foot off, allowing the oxygen to return, by then it has cooled enough to prevent it from reigniting.
