Carbon dioxide is basically heavier than air, so because of it's heaviness it settles down on the fire while spread from fire extinguishing solutions, and blocks the oxygen to get near the fire and support burning.

CO2 being heavier than oxygen, covers the fire like blanket and also brings down the temperature of fuel. Since, contact between the fuel and oxygen is cut off the fire comes under control.
