Firefighting techniques are methods used to extinguish fires and protect lives and property. One common technique is the use of water, which cools the flames and reduces the heat. Firefighters may also use foam to smother the fire, cutting off its oxygen supply. Additionally, they can create firebreaks by removing vegetation to prevent the fire from spreading. Another important technique is the use of fire extinguishers, which are portable devices filled with substances like carbon dioxide or dry chemical agents. Firefighters are trained to assess the type of fire and choose the appropriate method for extinguishing it. Safety protocols are crucial to ensure the well-being of both firefighters and civilians.
