1. A method of preventing a fire in an oxygen delivery system, the method comprising:
opening an electronic flow control valve to deliver a flow of oxygen through tubing from an oxygen source to a patient interface, the electronic flow control valve in communication with the tubing for controlling the flow of oxygen; and
at a predetermined time interval, closing the electronic flow control valve to pause the flow of oxygen for a predetermined time period, the predetermined time period being less than the predetermined time interval, the closing of the electronic flow control valve to extinguish a fire, if the fire is present inside at least one of the patient interface and the tubing.
