How do fire extinguishers stop fires?

Fires need three things to keep burning—heat, fuel, and oxygen. In this episode of Fizz Pop Wow!, we explore how fire extinguishers work by removing one part of this Fire Triangle to put out flames. Learn about different types of extinguishers, from water cooling down heat to carbon dioxide pushing away oxygen.

We also share fun at-home experiments, like using a jar to remove oxygen from a candle or sprinkling baking soda to stop a small flame. Tune in to discover the science behind fire safety and how we control fires with chemistry!
