Fire Fighting

Fire starts only when a flammable and / or a combustible material (Fuel) comes in combination with a sufficient amount of oxidizer such as oxygen or any other oxygen-rich compound or non-oxygen oxidizers that can replace oxygen (Oxygen) is exposed to a source of heat or ambient temperature (Heat) above the flash point for the fuel/oxidizer mix, and is able to sustain a rate of rapid oxidation that produces a chain reaction (Chain Reaction).

Fire Stops only when the Oxygen, Fuel and Heat are being controlled to regulate the Chain Reaction! This process is simply called Fire Fighting.
