    You have seen homes, shops and factories caught in fire news, or in newspaper, or in real. Do you think how can the fire be controlled from spreding? Generally, water is used to control fire. Water brings down the temperature of the combustible substance below its ignition temperature. The water vapour surrounds the combustible material, thus helping in cutting off the supply of air.
