Muck fires are difficult to fight. Often the only way to stop a muck fire is to contain it.
yes call the fire department and hose down any surrounding fires that can hurt you
Burning liquid fires require a U.L. Class B fire extinguisher, or ABC, or BC.
Oxygen? or fuel? I am not sure I understand your question. Engineers and fire fighters have used for many years what is called the fire triangle to describe fires and how to prevent them. The fire triangle is: oxygen fuel source of ignition (heat) If you can eliminate any one of the three, you have no fire. Fire fighting agents are designed to smother the fire (get rid of oxygen) or cool it (water does this well). But this doesn't always work with some fires, particularly chemical fires that may supply their own oxygen, fuel and heat. So in the last 20 years or so fire fighting agents have been developed that actually stop the chemical reaction that is occurring in a chemical fire. Also electrical (source of ignition) fire usually will re-flash (start again) unless you cut off the electricity. So fire fighters need to know if it's an electrical fire.
When the small fires burn out (long before the main fire gets to them) they leave an area which the main fire cannot cross because the area has already been burned so there is nothing for the main fire to burn there, and so it helps to stop the spread over the main fire from that point on.
Muck fires can be stopped by smothering the fire with soil or sand to deprive it of oxygen. Using water can also help to cool down the embers and halt the spread of the fire. It is important to monitor the area for any reignition of the fire and ensure it is fully extinguished.
They didn't. Most times there was not water available to stop the fires, and if there was it was on a rare occasion that the fire could be stopped. If a farmers was lucky he could get to his water pump before the fire spread and extinguish the flames. But like I said RARELY the fires could be stopped.
Firefighters are able to stop a muck fire when the rain comes. The rain seeps into the ground to put out the fire. Or the fire runs into a lake.
Firefighters, fire & or park rangers, volunteers if they are able to, etc.
