EN: to suppress; to put out (a fire); to quell
The act of stopping something from getting out of control. It's what firefighters do to a fire, what a bouncer does to a bar fight, or what you do to your feelings for your "friend" because "friends lang daw kayo". It's the ultimate "pigilan mo 'ko!" action.
Can be used for literal fires, figurative fires (like rebellion), or emotions.
