 Cool It!
Fires can be put out by removing heat. There are different ways to do this. If a fire is made from wood, cloth or paper, water is often the easiest way to put out the fire.
However, water isn't the best method in all cases. Both grease fires and electrical fires can grow when water is poured onto them. This is because water can cause the burning grease to spread or splatter. Water also conducts electricity which can cause the fire to spread.
In these cases, fire fighters and adults use fire extinguishers to put out the fire.
