Answer:
Restricting the air supply to a fire will definitely put it out. All fires need oxygen to keep burning, no fire will burn without it, cos fire is a combustion process

There are so many ways to prevent fires, use flame resistant products, control the amount of heat products are exposed to so they dont flame out, ...

A fire extinguisher probably works (i am not sure) by spraying a thick material that doesnt allow air to pass thru on the fire hence "suffocating" it by reducing the amount of air available for it to burn
Is this your homework?
a) Use water. It will put out fire.

b) Don't use fire and you won't be able to start fires

c) Fire extinguishers deprives the flame of oxygen it needs to burn and so hence, puts it out.
a) You cana control fire with gasoline or wind (make fire bigger) or water (extiguish the fire).

b) to prevent fires don't start them.

c) A fire extinguisher works by suffocating the fire. no oxygen no fire. Kind of like putting a blanket over a fire.
