Fire "gos out" when the temperature of the burning material drops below the temperature required for the oxidation process to occur, or when the fire is deprived of a source of oxygen. If ice gains heat to cool another material, it will melt, but if the water from the melting Ice were kept away from the burning material it could still cool the material enough to put out the fire. However you need good thermal contact to remove heat faster than the fire produces it. If you have a grease fire in a metal pan, it would go out if you set the pan on a block of ice.

YES!! When you put ice cubes in a fire, the fire will immediately melt the ice cubes into a liquid. This will make the fire melt.

actually you can; if you can pile enough cubes fast enough over the fire, it might actually cut off air from the fire and put the damn thing out plus if anything melts it'll only help the process. Of course, this answer has been given assuming that the fire is not electrical and is fueled with wood or something similar!

You can put out a candle flame just by holding an ice cube next to it. Don't touch it or anything. The ice cools the air around the wick and cools the wick below ignition temperature.

yes actually, even if the cune did not melt and drown it.
the ice cube, if cold enough, would absorb all the energy of the flame and the flame would go out.
since fire is a chain reaction, you may ask if it would simply keep going because it keeps getting more energy.....you would need to take all the energy out of the flame before it had time to burn more fuel to make more energy.
get it?

Powdered ice would paintings completely, because it would quit the oxygen that fuels the hearth. Ice in cube type would paintings basically approximately besides in a great quantity because of the fact the oxygen furnish would be constrained adequate even in spite of the undeniable fact that there are gaps between the cubes. of path if the cubes are substantial this would not paintings.

Yes, because the ice will begin to melt to liquid form the second it hits the fire -- and then eventually start to become steam/vapor.

They will melt before reaching the base of the fire and you would no longer be using ice.

No, water puts fires out but baking soda puts out a fire better!!

if you drop a gigantic block of ice onto a fire..yes it will put out a fire..
