If a molotov cocktail is thrown in a very old wood dry building consisting of flammable furniture and other types of fuel, with good oxygen supply, how could the fire self extinguish in a short period of time?

Asked by Brylar Foustark about 9 years ago

I would find it improbable that it would self extinguish. If it had limited oxygen than that would be feasible.
