We know about combustion that a substance catches fire in the presence of Oxygen. Co2 is heavier than Oxygen. When firemen use fire extinguisher, the oxygen will settle at the top ( as it is light) and the Co2 covers the bottom ( where fire takes place). In this way Co2 is able to control fires.

Answer:
As CO2 is heavier than oxygen, it forms a blanket around fire, because of which the supply of air is stopped. Men over, it brings down the temperature of the burning substance. In these ways, it plays a significant role in controlling fire.
