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.
