You can remove the oxygen from the fuel by replacing it with a gas that wont burn.Continuing fire needs heat to drive the combustion. If you can remove the heat, the fire will stop.You can see why water is often used to put out fires. It separates the fuel from the oxygen and it cools the fuel to stop combustion.......
What could ignite (destroy) any kind of fire? For example: If I put a spark of fire on a Car Oil it will ignite and burn (destroy itself). What is opposite?
I interpret your question to mean what will extinguish a fire.
Fire requires two things, fuel and oxygen. If you separate these items the fire will stop.
You can separate them by putting water on the fuel, so that it can't burn.

You can see why water is often used to put out fires. It separates the fuel from the oxygen and it cools the fuel to stop combustion. inert powders and gases are also used when water might make things worse such as an electrical fire, where the heat is coming from electricity and the water might actually spread the electricity.
Stopping the fire depends on where the fire is and whether people have to breath the air around the fire. Some gases that force the oxygen away from the fire also will kill any people trapped near the fire.
