Why is carbon dioxide in fire extinguisher?
Fires need oxygen, and the CO2 (carbon dioxide) smothers the fire by keeping oxygen away. CO2 is only used for certain types of fire, mostly wood, paper, cloth, and electrical fires. The CO2 displaces the oxygen. You spray a fire at its base with an extinguisher. Fires draw oxygen from its base by way of draft. The CO2 from the extinguisher is picked up by the fire and does not support combustion. For very large fires, CO2 is not as effective because of the rapid flow of air into the fire, which is caused by higher temperatures. Water or foam is better at cooling the fire and making the flammable materials harder to burn.
