Blow the flame away from the source for long enough, the flame goes out.

Cool!

every big shot fire company from all over the world tried and failed. Finally, in desperation they called the local volunteer fire company. Soon they were seen clattering up the road in an aging fire truck and they rolled right through the crowd and up to the fire. All the firemen jumped off the truck, hosed each other down and put that sucker out.

News crews ran up and asked the fire chief what he was going to do with the money for putting out the fire. He said, "Well first we're going to get the goddamn brakes on that truck fixed."
