Muck fires can be stopped by smothering the fire with soil or sand to deprive it of oxygen. Using water can also help to cool down the embers and halt the spread of the fire. It is important to monitor the area for any reignition of the fire and ensure it is fully extinguished.
In the book "Tangerine," the perfect conditions for the muck fire were the combination of hot, dry weather, the decomposing organic matter in the muck soil, and the lack of rain to help contain or extinguish the fire.
Firefighters are able to stop a muck fire when the rain comes. The rain seeps into the ground to put out the fire. Or the fire runs into a lake.

No, You can not always see the flames of a muck fire. It may be a Muck "Smolder" ....tht's what my Grandmother called it when Highway 92 between Auburndale and Lakeland would be black with what looked like a dark smelly fog that had rolled in, but it was a muck fire.....burning just below the ground. It seemed like they would burn for weeks. Every once and awhile flames would break through the muck and reach the thick undergrouth in the swamp and then a Hugh hot fire would follow......Muck fires can burn during a hard rain too.
