Nitrogen itself is not a flammable gas, so it will not support combustion. However, oxygen is necessary for a fire to burn, and air is composed mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. Removing oxygen, by displacing it with nitrogen, can help extinguish a fire.
You can take away oxygen from a fire by covering it with a fire blanket, using a fire extinguisher that works by smothering the flames, or by cutting off the oxygen supply by closing off vents or doors. This reduces the ability of the fire to sustain itself and causes it to die out.
Spilling liquid nitrogen over fire would likely extinguish the fire due to the extremely cold temperature of the nitrogen (-320°F). The rapid evaporation of the liquid nitrogen would displace oxygen, which is essential for combustion, effectively smothering the flames.
No, nitrogen does not support combustion and is not needed for a fire. In fact, nitrogen is commonly used as an extinguishing agent in fire suppression systems because it helps to displace oxygen, which is a necessary component for combustion to occur.
Hot water absorbs more heat energy from the fire compared to cold water, which helps to lower the temperature of the fire more quickly. This increased temperature differential can lead to a faster decrease in the fire's heat source, making it more effective at extinguishing the fire.
Because it's dangerous.Because liquid nitrogen is expensive and inconvenient.Because liquid nitrogen will instantly evaporate once it comes close to fire.

Nitrogen can be used in fire extinguishers as gas propellant.

Smother it- cutting off the air from the fire.
You should put the fire out as soon as possible. If you cannot put the fire out, you should get off the boat and make sure you are safe.

Nitrogen does not support fire because it is considered a non-flammable substance. Liquid nitrogen prevents fire from spreading because it inhibits fuel and oxygen from burning.
Its put out. The fire consumes itself, the oxygen flow has been cut off.
