They remove the fire’s fuel (trees or other plants) in a big circle around the fire. When the fire reaches that spot, it can no longer spread. In addition, they use aircraft that drop water.

For the most part, you figure out where the fire is going, then jump ahead of it and create [firebreaks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebreak).
