Answer:

They are all halogens.

Step-by-step explanation:

F, Cl, Br, and I are all in Group 17 of the periodic table, which are the halogen elements. These elements easily react with other elements that are fuel for fires, such as oxygen. This causes the fire to run out of nearby fuel and eventually burn out.
