I am doing a science project on the best way to extinguish a wood fire, and I need a good name for it.Help plz

Question

This is for eighth graders, so plz something appropriate. (i.e. no potty humor, swearing, etc.)

Answer 1

How about "Into the Darkness".

You need only three things to create and sustain fire - fuel - spark - oxygen; so the best way to extinguish a fire is to remove any one of those elements. You can take away the spark by dousing the fire wth water, (most common methods used).

You can take away the oxygen and put the fire out, by smothering the fire with blanket, dirt, or replacing the oxygen with CO2 ( hence a CO2 fire extinguisher),

Lastly you can extinguish a fire by depriving it of fuel. Fire fighters stop brush fires and small forrset fires, and grass fires this way by digging "fire lines", which are wide expanses of tilled ground where they literally til the vegetation and burnable materials under the soil, so the fire has noting to "eat" and it "starves to death" right there, and dies.

Aerial firefighting. Yet another method of fire fighting is to dump fire retardant chemicals on the fire from above by plane or helicopter. These chemicals can be dispersed over wide areas in in-accessible regions, saving man-power, and man hours and equipment.. Well, I wish you Good Luck.

I'm pulling for you.

Answer 2

The old fire extinguisher that saved me was the old caustic soda and HCL it creates a good foam that is good for all except electrical fires. The environmentalist will say it is a hazardous materials. NO if the two chemicals are in the right proportion will produce table salt and water. The foam is full of CO2 which will smother fires.
