Why do you put heat oxygen and fuel together in a fire triangle?
IF either of the 3 is missing, the fire will can not continue to burn.The triangle illustrates the rule that in order to ignite and burn, a fire requires three elements: heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent (usually oxygen). The fire is prevented or extinguished by removing any one of them. A fire naturally occurs when the elements are combined in the right mixture.Throwing water on the fire removes the heat.Throwing a blanket or using a carbon dioxide extinguisher removes the oxygen.In the case of a wood fire, removing pieces of wood ( spreading out the wood) removes the fuel
Is heat fuel or oxygen removed when you put out a forest fire?
Heat is not removed when putting out a fire; instead, the removal of fuel or oxygen is what helps extinguish the flames. Methods like water, foam, or dirt can suffocate the fire by removing oxygen, while firebreaks or controlled burns can remove fuel to contain or stop the fire's spread.
How does CO2 extinguish fire?
first you must understand that in order to burn a fire needs fuel, heat, oxygen, some sort of reaction. carbondioxide extinguishes fire by removing the oxygen from the equation which in turn stops the reaction, causes the heat to dissipate, and then all thats left is partially burned fuel.
While working to extinguish a wild land fire how would you exclude the oxygen reduce the heat and remove the fuel?
To exclude oxygen, firefighters can create firebreaks or use water to smother the fire. To reduce heat, they can use water, foam, or fire retardants to cool the flames. Removing fuel involves clearing vegetation or creating a backburn to consume the fuel ahead of the main fire.
Firefighter often use water to put out a fire explain how this works?
Fire has to have 3 things to keep burning: Fuel, Heat, Oxygen. Water works by cooling the temperatur and removing the Oxygen.
Can you give an example of putting out a fire by removing the fuel?
Sure! An example of putting out a fire by removing the fuel would be turning off the gas supply to a stove fire. By cutting off the fuel source, you eliminate the supply that is feeding the fire and eventually it will die out.
What would stop a fire excluding removing fuel source and reducing heat?
If you cannot remove the fuel or reduce the temperature of the burning material, removing the oxygen, or other oxidizer, will stop a fire.
What is starvation in relation to extinguishing fire?
removing the fuel or source of ignition.
What is a fire suppressant used for?
A fire suppressant is used to remove one of 3 things from a fire. Depending on what the suppressant is, it operates by removing ONE of the 3. IE: CO2 works by removing the OXYGEN from the fire, water works by removing HEAT, and something like a fire fighting foam works by removing heat and the FUEL, by causing a blanketing action between flame and the fuel.
What part of the fire triangle is affected when firefighters remove all the trees that lay in the path of a fire?
Removing trees from a forest fire is called a "fire break" or "fire line" and it provides a separation of the unburned fuel from the fire. Thus, a fire break affects the "fuel" leg of the fire triangle by denying fuel to the fire.

What is STARVATION to put out a fire?
Preventing oxygen from participating in the combustion process is "Suffocation". Removing the fuel is "Starvation". To starve a wood fire, you remove logs from the fire.
What happens when carbon dioxide is added to a fire?
When carbon dioxide is added to a fire, it displaces oxygen, which is necessary for the fire to burn. This can help extinguish the fire by removing the oxygen fuel source.
What are the methods to stop fire?
Remove the oxygen supply, smother the flames thus removing the oxygen, remove the fuel source, or wet the fuel source.
How does fire go out?
Fire goes out when one or more elements of the fire triangle (heat, fuel, oxygen) are removed. This can happen through extinguishing methods like smothering the fire to remove oxygen, cooling the flames to reduce heat, or removing the fuel source to starve the fire.
What are the three component of fire and explain?
The three components of fire are fuel, heat, and oxygen. Fuel provides the material that burns, heat is required to ignite the fuel and sustain the combustion process, and oxygen supports the chemical reaction that produces flames. Removing any of these components will extinguish the fire.
ABC fire extinguishers extinguish fires by cooling it down.?
True (You Need Heat, Fuel, and Combustible) ABC Extinguishers Cool down the fire breaking the fire triangle by removing the heat.
