Fuel-controlled fire occurs when there is limited airflow, causing the rate of combustion to be controlled by the availability of fuel. In this type of fire, the fire develops and spreads due to the flammable material being present in abundance. Managing the fuel source is critical in extinguishing fuel-controlled fires.
A continuously burning fire is a fire that has a fuel source that allows it to keep burning without extinguishing. This can be achieved through a consistent supply of oxygen and fuel to the fire. Maintaining a continuously burning fire requires careful management and monitoring to prevent it from spreading uncontrollably.
CO2 extinguishes fire by displacing oxygen, which is necessary for combustion. When released, CO2 creates a layer of gas that smothers the fire, cutting off the oxygen supply and extinguishing the flames.
Fire can "go away" if it runs out of fuel, is extinguished by water or another fire retardant, or if the conditions necessary for it to exist, such as heat, oxygen, and fuel, are removed. The extinguishing method depends on the type of fire and its surroundings.
Cold water helps to put out a fire by reducing the temperature of the fuel source below its ignition point, thereby extinguishing the flames. It also helps to create steam which displaces oxygen and suffocates the fire.
No
removing the fuel or source of ignition.
The three forms of fuel needed for a fire to start are fuel in the form of a solid (such as wood or paper), fuel in the form of a liquid (such as petrol or oil), and fuel in the form of a gas (such as natural gas or propane).
The fire extinguisher contents are designed to interact with the fuel/air boundary, so you need to aim at where the fuel is burning, that is, "at the base of the flames."
Remove one or more of the following. Heat, oxygen or fuel.

In this type of fire, the fire develops and spreads due to the flammable material being present in abundance. Managing the fuel source is critical in extinguishing fuel-controlled fires.
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.
It lowers temperature below the kindling point of the fuel. Steam can also reduce oxygen available to the fire, but cooling is the main extinguishing feature.
