What Makes a Fire ? The fire triangle.
Fire just does not happen. There are 3 elements that must be present for a fire to burn; heat, Fuel and Oxygen. All 3 are needed for a fire, so if you take one away the fire will not burn. Oxygen is almost always present as we need it to breathe. Therefore we only have control over 2 elements. The rule is to never mix fuel and heat.
