I meant it wasn't the fuel in regards to the common triangle used to show what is needed for a fire, for simple clarification's sake:

And if you want the most real answer - Wind extinguishes Fire in this arcane rock-paper-scissors situation because the developers and lore-writers decided the elemental circle was going to work that way. Maybe there's something special about magic wind that's better than normal wind; maybe it's more of a vacuum effect and thus removes the oxygen rather than introduce more of it. Who's to say?
This is also a world with dragons, the Echo, islands that float in the sky, people that can jump hundreds of feet in the air, and beings that can burst into existence if you want it bad enough (and have enough magic crystals). If you can suspend your disbelief for all that but "wind putting out fire" is where you draw the line, I don't know what to tell you.
