-How can fires start?
-What can you do to extinguish a fire? -
-What substances (apart from water) can be used to extinguish it?
A fire will only start if you have all of these things together.
A fire can be prevented or extinguished by removing any one of the elements in the fire triangle.
Foam can be used to deny the fire the oxygen it needs. Water can be used to lower the temperature of the fuel below the ignition point or to remove or disperse the fuel. Halon can be used to remove free radicals and create a barrier of inert gas in a direct attack on the chemical reaction responsible for the fire.
