Since there is no oxygen in space, and we need oxygen to feed a fire, there are no fires found in space. This does not mean we should not be concerned about ... to extinguish. Since then, NASA has made fire safety a priority on board the ISS, with regularly scheduled fire drills and ongoing studies of how fire propagates in the confines of a micro-gravity environment on board a large orbiting spacecraft like the ISS. To better understand how fires can spread in space, astronauts and cosmonauts perform many controlled experiments on board the ISS ...

... need fuel, oxygen, and a spark or heat source. So you can make a fire inside a spaceship that has a supply of oxygen. But in space where there is no air and therefore very little or no oxygen, you cannot make a fire. ---- Answer provided by Luke Keller, Ph.D. Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted ...
