Carbon dioxide used for extinguishing fire can be stored as a liquid at high pressure in cylinders.When released from the cylinder,carbon dioxide expands enormously in volume and cools down.Carbon dioxide not only forms a blanket around the burning substance,it also cools down the burning substance.

Answer 2

Carbon dioxide extinguishes work by displacing oxygen, or taking away the oxygen element of the fire triangle. The carbon dioxide is also very cold as it comes out of the extinguisher, so it cools the fuel as well.
