Flamin' Facts on Fire
Fires need heat, oxygen and fuel to burn. If any one of these three elements is removed the fire goes out. That's why fire fighters and other adults put out fires by choosing one or more of the following:
1. They cool the fire (take away the heat).
2. They smother the fire (take away the oxygen).
3. They remove burning materials (take away the fuel).
The best choice depends on the type of fire. For example, electrical, grease and wood fires must be extinguished in different ways.
