Answer 2

$hello$
$here \: is \: your \: answer$
Carbon dioxide being heavier than oxygen, covers the Fire like a blanket. send the contact between the fuel and oxygen is cut off the fire is controlled.


Carbon dioxide can be stored at high pressure as a liquid in cylinder when released from the cylinder carbon dioxide expand enormously in volume and cools down so it not only forms a blanket around the Fire, it also brings down the temperature of the fuel .

That is why it is an excellent fire extinguisher.
