Different fires take different amounts of time to bring them under control and to extinguish them. You might have guessed that. Some fires can be put out in seconds, and others burn for days or even weeks (like a fire in a dump for old tires). There are many variables that determine the length of time it will take to contain and snuff out a fire.
