Wildland firefighters often fight forest and brush fires with fire. They move ahead of the fire and start fires that burn the fuel, and keep the little fires controlled. So when the big fire gets there, it doesn't have any fuel to burn, and therefore dies out. Look up wildland firefighting online for more info.

Fire consumes the fuel. If your fire consumes the fuel before the other fire can get to it, it will have nothing else to consume and will extinguish. Forest fires, brush fires, especially. Use flour when it's a grease fire, never water. Grease is lighter than water and the water will spread the grease fire.

that saying came from back when the oil rigs caught fire, the only way to put them out was to blast them with dynomite cuz it would smother the fire so it had no oxygen.

but normal fires should be faught with water.

That is the way you fight forest fires.

Because if you show introduce it's counterpart there is a chance you will loose. Like "putting out" the fire you will be "loosing out" water. You can't win 'em all.

Besides, revenge is sweet. Especialy using their own medicine.

Like kills like.
The trick with fighting fire with fire, is that one has to be colder then the one you are trying to fight.

Well, it's usually a good policy to fire your boss before he/she fires you.
