Ⅳ Reading comprehension
There are three
main ways in which a fire can be put out.
The first way is
to remove some of the fuel.
For example, fire lanes are often cut through forests.
A fire lane is a wide open path where trees and
undergrowth are removed . A forest fire is expected to burn out upon reaching a fire
lane. That is because the fuel has been removed.
A second way of
putting out fire is to keep oxygen from getting to it.
If there is no oxygen
supply, the fire goes out. For example, a fire cannot burn in carbon dioxde.
Some fire extinguishers blanket fire with carbon
dioxde.
The oxygen is blocked
from th fire.
A third way to put
fires out is to remove heat from the fire.

and lowers their temperature. Once the temperature drops below the kinding
temperature, the
fuel stops burning.
