 Running Out of Fuel!
The third way to put out a fire is to remove the fuel. This method is often difficult and dangerous so it is rarely used. But sometimes it is the best way to handle a fire. For example, trees are a main source of fuel in a forest fire. Fire fighters may cut down a strip of trees in order to take away the fire's fuel and control the blaze.
| FUN FACT: George Washington, the first president of the United States, was a volunteer fire fighter in Alexandria, Virginia.
