How does a fire extinguisher stop a combustion reaction?
A fire extinguisher stops a combustion reaction by removing one or more of the essential components of fire: heat, fuel, or oxygen. Different types of extinguishers work through various mechanisms; for example, water extinguishers cool the fire by absorbing heat, while foam extinguishers smother the flames, cutting off the oxygen supply. Dry chemical extinguishers interrupt the chemical reaction itself, effectively disrupting the combustion process. By targeting these elements, fire extinguishers effectively halt the fire's ability to sustain itself.
