In space, fire behaves differently than on Earth due to the lack of oxygen and gravity. To extinguish a fire in space, you would need to remove the fuel or heat or use a fire suppressant like a foam or gas that can smother the flames. Since traditional methods like water or CO2 extinguishers wouldn’t work effectively, specialized fire suppression systems are designed for spacecraft. Firefighters in space must also be cautious to avoid creating floating debris from extinguishing agents.
