Water pressure fire extinguisher. Fire needs three things to survive those three things are fule, oxygen, and heat. A hydrant is pressurised at 60 psi or 750 gpm.
My topic is about how does water put out fire and what type of fire can get put out by water.Water can put out class A type fires which is fire caused by paper,cloth,wood,and some plastics.When you throw water on a fire two things happen the oxygen burns out and hydroden, which can't burn, takes over and suffocates the fire from the air.The mist that you see above the fire is hydrogen formed by the fire and suffocates it.My prediction for the future is that people will become more educated about fire and water and why they don't go together.The math in my topic depends on how fast water flows to extinguish a fire which is 60 psi or 750 gpm.My equation is H2O+Fire=HMy topic relates to real-life because there are many fires that water can put out that aren't put out to day like fires in California.
