No, carbon dioxide does not put flames out. It is non-flammable and does not support combustion. When carbon dioxide is released onto a fire, it can displace oxygen, which in turn can smother the fire by removing one of the elements needed for combustion.

How much carbon dioxide is in the atmosphere after a forest fire?

After a forest fire, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere can increase significantly, as the combustion of vegetation releases carbon stored in trees and soil. The exact amount of CO2 released depends on the size of the fire, the type of vegetation burned, and environmental conditions. Generally, large wildfires can release millions of tons of CO2, contributing to short-term spikes in atmospheric CO2 levels. However, the increase is temporary, as natural processes and reforestation can eventually help sequester carbon again over time.
