Explanation:
Halon is a type of gas that is used to interfere with the chemical
reactions between the elements of a fire. A fire requires fuel, oxygen, high
temperatures, and chemical reactions to burn properly. There are different
suppressant agents that have been developed to attack one of these legs of a fire,
CO2 displaces the oxygen, water reduces the temperature, and soda acid removes the
fuel.
